In 1970 Jacques-Yves Cousteaub and crew of Calypso went to the Silver Bank, in the Caribbean, to see if they could find the wreck of the Spanish ship Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion. This ship was the flagship of a small Armada, of 23 ships, laden with treasure loted from the South American continent, and was on route back to Spain when a hurricaine in 1641 sank her on the Silver Bank coral reef off the island of Hispaniola. She was laden with 250 million pounds worth of treasure when she was sunk. Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his crew went looking for one: -- to actually find this ship and two: -- to see if any of the treasure was still there.
