About this episode

This episode explores the San Jose Galleon, its historical significance, and the challenges of researching shipwrecks.

This episode is a deep dive into the so-called “Holy Grail of Shipwrecks”: the San Jose Galleon. Come for the Dutch gin bottles and hypothetical emeralds, stay in spite of the monster demon fish (dolphins) and my meltdown over dodgy research methodologies. Episode features track "Enigmatic and Alluring" by Universfield, sourced from Freesound.
