Uneven Justice: The Plot to Sink Galleon

About the book

In 1708, the Spanish galleon, the San José, was sunk off the coast of Colombia by the British Royal Navy. The ship was carrying a vast treasure of gold, silver, and jewels, and its loss was a major blow to the Spanish Empire. For centuries, the location of the San José's wreck was a mystery, but in 2015, a team of Colombian treasure hunters finally found it.

The discovery of the San José's wreck reignited interest in the story of its sinking, and in the plot that led to it. In Uneven Justice, award-winning journalist Michael Scott Moore takes readers on a thrilling journey through the centuries, from the ship's sinking to the present day. Along the way, he uncovers a cast of colorful characters, from the Spanish conquistadors who plundered the New World to the 21st-century treasure hunters who are still searching for the galleon's riches.

Uneven Justice is a must-read for anyone interested in history, adventure, or the enduring allure of lost treasure.
