found in a sunken 17th century Spanish ship were worth a reported $400 million.
Odyssey has not released specific details about the sunken treasure. The project has been given the name “Black Swan”. The location of the ship and its country of origin remain unknown to the public. According to the company's co-chairman Greg Stemm, there is still uncertainty about the ship's nationality, size and age. A formal announcement with more information will come later, he promised.
Odyssey has not revealed what types of coins were found or their country of origin. But court records show that the treasure might have come from a 17th-century merchant ship that sank off the coast of England. “I don't know of anything equal or comparable to it,” Bruyer said.
