But an accidental discovery in the dusty stacks of a Spanish archive led him to the story of a lifetime, the tale of a great eighteenth-century treasure ship loaded with riches from the New World and destined for Spain. But that ship, the galleon \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSan José,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e met a darker fate. It was drawn into a pitched battle with British ships of war off the coast of Cartagena, and when the smoke cleared, the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSan José\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and its bounty had disappeared into the ocean, its coordinates lost to time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough a diver at heart, Dooley was an unlikely candidate to find the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSan José\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. He had little in the way of serious credentials, yet his tenacity and single-minded devotion to finding and excavating the ship powered him across four decades, even as he became a man in exile from the country of his birth. As Dooley jousted with famous treasure hunters and well-funded competitors, he slowly homed in on a patch of sea that might contain a three-hundred-year-old shipwreck—or nothing at all.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Painted Porch Bookshop ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47868018163965,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0472\/7069\/0970\/files\/91Y5tD_3iRL._SY466.jpg?v=1784583010","url":"https:\/\/www.thepaintedporch.com\/products\/neptunes-fortune","provider":"The Painted Porch Bookshop ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
