Hurricane sinks Spanish treasure ships

About the article:
In 1715 a hurricane sunk 10 treasure ships close to the Florida coast nearly killing 1,000 people.  On July 24 Spanish ships left Havana, the ships were carrying many valuable treasures and also carried tons of gold and silver coins which is worth around 14 million pesos. 


So what:
There were plenty of valuable treasures on board the ship, now they are lost under the sea when they could have been in a museum for everyone to admire.
