The General Grant probably deserves a place on this list just because of the bizarre circumstances of its loss. In 1866, laden with gold, it was caught in a storm and swept into a cave in Auckland Island near New Zealand. It slammed up and down inside the cave until the mast drove a hole into the hull and it sank inside the cave. Only 15 of the 65 aboard survived and made their way to a nearby island where they were rescued after 9 months.

I agree with you. The last attempt at finding the gold last February failed to find the wreck or the gold.
I like reading the comments under Simon's videos on his various channels because the lore we've created surrounding Simon is hilarious. According to the comments, he 1. Keeps at least 2 people hostage in his basement aka Blazement, Danny and Sam, possibly 3 if we include Peter as a person but apparently Peter is just a houseplant that Simon likes to yell at for confirmation of his opinions, like a crazy person. 2. He possibly has clones of himself to help produce such an insane volume of content. 3. Has phobias of Greyhound Bus, the past (it was the worst) and any system that isn't capitalism. 4. Is deeply skeptical of the paranormal, yet has clearly done a deal with Satan to be able to produce quality content with the rapidity of a man possessed. 5. Lives in Prague, in theory with his wife and kids, but in practice in a tastefully decorated office where he can talk aloud to nobody for hours in peace, and he subsists on a diet of Magic Spoon, coffee, and cocaine (allegedly).

I finally checked out magic spoon. I guess they carry it at target, but it costs $9.99 for seven ounces..
I usually don't comment on Simon's advert's, allegedly. However Simon clearly keeps his Magic Spoon at the office to keep it away from his wife & kids. Nice move Fact-Boy.

This video makes me want to me a nautical treasure hunter. How big the oceans are is so obvious why none of these have ever been found. What’s that famous quote? “We know more about the surface of the moon than we know about the depths of the ocean” paraphrasing, but, damn.

As a Portuguese man I just want to make a small correction: we don't use "La" as a way to say "of", hence the correct name is "Flor do mar" and not "flor de la mar". That is a Spanish pronunciation of the name. As for the other ship, it's also incorrect. It's writen "As cinco chagas" or "the five soars" not wounds. It's pronounced (as closely as possible) ash cincu shágash. Love your content. More please!

The name of of the ship in XVI century Portuguese was "Frol de la Mar" (Flor do Mar in modern Portuguese). Languages evolve, don't stay the same forever, in XVI century the Portuguese Language was still graphed in very similar way to other Iberian Languages, and all those languages were still very close to Common Latin.
I bet that Portuguese captain was just madder than a cat dropped in a bathtub when he realized that he was going to have to sail home overloaded . I have to assume he knew that ship probably wasn't going to make it . I mean assuming he had any experience at all he must have known that was a long shot at best . Like me hooking up my pickup to an train car and trying to pull it . Even if I can get it going how the hell am I supposed to stop it 🤣 *Wait , wait , wait .... Was that cowardly ass crew that abandoned them ever punished in any way
i hope the crew that abandoned the passengers got in trouble when the guy who lost his wife reported what happened.

I can't wait to see whats in the sunken Spanish galleon San José off the coast of Columbia. The ship, a 64-gun galleon is believed to have been carrying at least 200 tons of treasure, including gold coins, silver coins, and emeralds, worth an estimated up to $17 billion at today's prices.

Columbia, Spain, and Bolivia cant settle the feud on who owns it, so supposedly no one has started salvaging it yet.. It makes me laugh; It's been 10 years since they've found it, and its Columbia we're talking about. As corrupt as they are, of course they've been looting it all this time.
I wanna be a treasure hunter like Nathan Drake!

Disappointed Simon didn't cover the sinking of El Cazador in 1784. If El Cazador hadn't sunk, Spain wouldn't have ceded the Louisiana Territory back to France, who wouldn't have flipped it in a sale to Thomas Jefferson, which could have seriously hindered the realization of manifest destiny. If El Cazador had completed its voyage, the United States today might not be a country that stretches from sea to shining sea

It may not have happened as soon as it did, but how could Spain possibly win a war against the US in their backyard? Especially since Spain couldn't even defeat the US in the Spanish-American war in neutral land and water?
The first two at least, since the wreckages haven’t been found, makes me really believe that the crews of these ships-either crew all or in part-decided to take the treasures, demolish, hide, or change the appearance of the ships and then sold them or gave them away and then disappeared themselves. Rich as fuck. Obviously I’m just thinking this. I have beyond zero evidence to back up anything I’m saying. Negative evidence towards that opinion tbh. But whatever lol.

Your theory reminds me of the shipwreck of the Batavia in 1628, off the Australian coast. It wasn't about treasure as much as it was about power. A munity gone wrong led to the ship running aground and absolute horror ensued amongst the survivors. They didn't get away rich as fuck, but still a crazy story. If you want to hear the full story, check out Defragged History, the have a four part series on it.

There are of course many other lost treasure ships. I'm in South Africa, and a well known one here is of the Grosvenor. It was a British galleon returning to Britain from India, in the 1700's, and ran aground at the southeast coast.
Portuguese here. The NAU wasn't called "las Cinque chagas" 2 of those words don't even exist in Portuguese. It was called "Cinco Chagas". We also lost Bom Jesus, with a couple million in gold, but that was found recently. Good Times, when we had gold to sink. Now we sink while trying to stay afloat with empty pockets. THE PAST WAS THE BEST in this case.
On the subject of shipwrecks, I would love to see one of the SimonTube channels (possibly "into the Shadows" 'cause the story's just SO damned dark) cover "The Horrible History Behind This Classic Work of Art" about the incident that inspired Theodore Gericault's painting "The Raft of the Medusa."

Transporting gold dust is stupid. Fucking forge it into something at the port. Nuggets I get but gold dust can literally blow away.
