TL;DR Summary

Colombia has initiated an underwater expedition to explore the San José, a Spanish galleon that sank over 300 years ago off the coast of Cartagena, believed to contain billions in treasure. The expedition aims to photograph and inventory the ship's artifacts using non-intrusive methods. The discovery has sparked a legal battle with a US-based marine salvaging company, Sea Search-Armada, which claims it found the shipwreck in the 1980s and is entitled to half its value.
