The story of a national obsession, this book examines the two hundred year quest to find the treasure of the Spanish galleon Concepcion, which lay at the bottom of the ocean. From Captain Phips in 1687, through the eighteenth and nineteenth-centuries, the great British treasure hunt is brought to life by the acclaimed author of "The Pirate Wars".
In the 18th and 19th centuries, treasure-hunting became a professional occupation. Presenting a story of a national obsession, this work features a history of a peculiarly English phenomenon - of outstanding bravery, of exceptional recklessness, and above all, of dreams of treasure.
