Sea Search Armada

Sea Search Armada is a treasure hunting organization known for its operations in the Caribbean Sea, particularly around Colombia. Founded in the 1980s, it gained attention for its claims of discovering sunken ships loaded with gold and other valuable artifacts from historic maritime disasters. The group combines historical research with underwater exploration to locate these wrecks. However, it has faced legal challenges, particularly from the Colombian government, concerning the ownership and rights to recover treasure from shipwrecks within national waters. The organization's activities highlight the intersection of history, archaeology, and treasure hunting.
