Spanish wreck off of Dauphin Island

[MichaelB]

While doing some research on a CW wreck in Mobile Bay at the public library I came across the following paragraph:

An unidentified Spanish galleon, carrying an estimated $1 million in gold and
silver treasure, was caught in a storm and wrecked on the E end of Dauphin
Island in 1801. Only 11 crew members survived and told of the rich cargo that was
lost. There was no salvage reported.

It tweaked my interest as these waters are somewhat shallow even though visability is low and currents are tricky. Has anyone ever heard of a wreck that fits the 1801 criteria.

Regards,
