Atocha Coinsについて

1622年9月6日、スペイン王国から「ヌエストラ・セニョーラ・デ・アトーチャ」(春の聖母)と名付けられた船が、金や宝石、その他の貴重品を新世界へ運んでいた際に、フロリダ州キーウェスト沖で転覆し、その財宝は何百年ものあいだ海底に沈んだままとなりました。

この状況が一変したのは1969年のことです。アメリカ人トレジャーハンター、メル・フィッシャー率いるスキューバダイバーのチームが、フロリダキーズの海底で失われた財宝の探索を始めました。過酷な探検の末、フィッシャーの息子ケイン・フィッシャーから無線連絡が入り、チームがついにスペインの財宝を発見したと歓喜の声を上げました。

この計り知れない発見をめぐり、フロリダ州政府はこの難破船の所有権を主張し、8年に及ぶ法廷闘争が始まりました。1982年7月1日、米国最高裁判所はフィッシャーのチームに有利な判断を下し、難破船の財宝全体に対する権利を認めました。

2014年、ヌエストラ・セニョーラ・デ・アトーチャは、回収された難破船として最も価値が高いとしてギネス世界記録に登録されました。積み荷には、およそ40トンの金と銀、71 lb相当のコロンビア産エメラルドをはじめ、さまざまな遺物が含まれていました。
