A few years ago, Julian Sancton, a journalist, came across a story about a shipwreck found off the coast of Colombia.
And on board were treasures supposedly worth a billion dollars, which he thought must have been a typo.
Surely it meant millions of dollars worth of gold and silver.
But indeed, it was supposedly billions, many tons, more than 100 tons of gold and silver.
For Vanity Fair, Julian wrote a piece about the extraordinary 300-year mystery of where the ship had sunk
and how it was finally found a decade ago.
The magazine piece became a book project.
And the more Julian dug into the story, the more he realized,
just as tantalizing as the story of how the San Jose was found,
was the tale of the man who had done more than anybody to find it.
