In this book, Jacques-Yves Cousteau describes his own expedition to the famous Silver Bank, a coral reef in the Caribbean, where the crew of the Calypso searched unsuccessfully for a centuries-old shipwreck, the sunken Spanish galleon, "Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion", for the secrets of its past and the fortune in silver and gold it might still contain with references to William Phips' prior salvage efforts. Persistence and the latest technologies in marine archaeology enabled them to unearth an unidentified shipwreck's remnants, almost completely concealed by the myriad life forms of tropical waters.
