For ffty-fyc years the wreck remained

accident that the shifting sands had been
swept away from the sunken hulk, and IN

the wreck was reburied under many feet OF
sand Although attempts have been made
a number of times since to relocate the

All of the treasure recovered was found
within a limited area adjacent 10 the stern

years, and the angles plotted by previous
surveyors were somewhat off the site OF
