Thanks for the ping. I have a “Treasures Hunter” book with all sorts of old stories in them. Even older now as I think the book was written in the 50’s. And of course the writer of the book has done lots of research, but then will tell his “insider” information “that has never been known before” and then he gives a clue. I think this story was in the book. And from what I recall, the water is fairly shallow and the treasure has not been found yet, and “is still waiting for some lucky soul to grab it”.
whether or not the remains of the submerged sunken ships actually belong to the Hapsburg Queen's caravan can only be determined with intensive scuba diving.I wonder if they've used non-invasive methods of ruling out sites, or are just diving and hoping they find it?
