Santa Catalina

Hello!


Have anybody any kind of historian information about this wreck?

Qoute: Santa Catalina

In 1636, the Santa Catalina, only a few miles from her destination of Lisbon, Portugal, went down due to faulty navigation. She carried more than 3,500,000 cruzadoes in gold coin plus 22 chests of diamonds, rubies, and other precious stones.

I could be wrong but believe you are referring to the Santa Catarina de Ribamar which appears to have been the same ship, a 1500 ton Carrack seized by the Dutch East India Company in February 1603 off Singapore. She wrecked off Cabo da Roca (Cape Roca), Portugal in 1636. See the link below.
