Colombia unveils first treasures recovered from 300-year-old shipwreck

Colombian authorities on Thursday showed off the first objects to be recovered from a treasure-crammed Spanish galleon that sank off the coast 300 years ago: three gold and bronze coins, a canon and a porcelain cup. The items were the first to be brought to the surface, ten years after the wrecked San Jose was discovered in the Caribbean Sea. The San Jose was owned by the Spanish crown when it sank near Cartagena in June 1708.
