The British Navy – armed with pistols, swords and knives – tried three times to board the galleon and take it as their own, said Gonzalo Zuñiga, a curator at the Naval Museum of the Caribbean in Cartagena.

And by the evening of 8 June, a battle for the San José’s treasure had begun. The galleon’s captain, Jose Fernandez de Santillan, knew that the British, who were involved in the war, might have ships waiting to attack in Cartagena the city was only meant to be a quick stop to repair the San José before its longer journey to Havana, Cuba, and then on to Spain. The riches were destined for King Philip V of Spain, who relied on resources from his colonies to finance the War of the Spanish Succession. It was laden with gold, silver and precious stones extracted from what was then Spanish-controlled Peru, which have been estimated to be worth between $10bn and $20bn today. The San José galleon left Panama’s port city of Portobelo in late May 1708. We don’t know how much is actually in the San José galleon. “This is the magical realism that exists in our country. “The Caribbean is very magical,” said Bibiana Rojas Mejía, a traveller I spoke to from Bogota who spent the day at the beach with her family on Isla Grande, the largest of the islands. Nobel prize-winning author Gabriel García Márquez wrote about the galleon in Love in The Time of Cholera the novel’s main character, Florentino Ariza, planned to dive down and retrieve the San José’s riches for his lifelong love. In fact, the real-life treasure ship has long been the subject of fascination.

While being carried across the sea, it’s difficult not to imagine the San José and its treasure, somewhere out there below. Throngs of small motorboats zoom over the waters as they transport beach-going tourists to the islands each day. But the San José is said to be located close to the Rosario Islands, a tropical archipelago and national park 40km from Cartagena. The Colombian government hasn’t revealed the exact location of the famed galleon, which is often called the “holy grail” of shipwrecks.
