The story of Roger Dooley, an unlikely treasure hunter whose accidental archival discovery led him to search for the San José, an eighteenth-century galleon laden with riches that was sunk in battle and lost for centuries. The pursuit weaves together maritime archaeology, rival treasure hunters, legal and political obstacles, and the challenge of narrowing the search to a small area of the sea bed.
