But an accidental discovery in the dusty stacks of a Spanish archive led him to the story of a lifetime, the tale of a great eighteenth-century treasure ship loaded with riches from the New World and destined for Spain. But that ship, the galleon \u003ci\u003eSan José, \u003c\/i\u003e met a darker fate. It was drawn into a pitched battle with British ships of war off the coast of Cartagena, and when the smoke cleared, the \u003ci\u003eSan José\u003c\/i\u003e and its bounty had disappeared into the ocean, its coordinates lost to time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough a diver at heart, Dooley was an unlikely candidate to find the \u003ci\u003eSan José\u003c\/i\u003e. He had little in the way of serious credentials, yet his tenacity and single-minded devotion to finding and excavating the ship powered him across four decades, even as he became a man in exile from the country of his birth. As Dooley jousted with famous treasure hunters and well-funded competitors, he slowly homed in on a patch of sea that might contain a three-hundred-year-old shipwreck--or nothing at all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eNeptune's Fortune\u003c\/i\u003e is a thrilling adventure, taking readers from great naval battles on the high seas to the sun-soaked shores that nurtured history's most notorious treasure hunters, to the archives that held the secret keys to lost fortune on the ocean floor.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Crown","offers":[{"title":"Neptune's Fortune | Julian Sancton | Hardcover | 9780593594179 | New | History 1739321","offer_id":48168746385560,"sku":"1739321","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91Y5tD_3iRL.jpg?v=1771976817","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/neptunes-fortune","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
