The Spanish Galleon Concepcion set sail from Manila in 1638 carrying a cornucopia of exotic Asian goods and the private treasures of the Governor of the Philippines. Four weeks into her voyage, her bottom was ripped out on a reef during a storm and the ship was lost. For 350 years the ship and her cargo lay undisturbed on the seabed. This is the story of her rediscovery and the archaeological and recovery efforts to explore and recover the ship, showing great insight into a long-forgotten trade and the treasures of the ship and her crew. An account of a modern day adventure of treasure lost and found.
