I remember to have read some about wrecks in the Spanish Main, (Caribbean Sea). One of the problem is that the old nautical charts has different reference meridian, for Spain the Sevilla, the Cadiz 0º median, and is very difficult to locate the wreck.
Amazing the world of wrecks, in 2004 I dive in the Red Sea in the Thistlegorm, we had to take the advanced diving license, because of the depth of the wreck and the currents.
