Forgive me if this has already been discussed. I was just wondering what major treasure wrecks have yet to be discovered? What would you say the top three are? Top ten? Gotta dare to dream right? Thanks!

Whittman,
to assess the real problem is not know how these ships carrying in contraband. From 1620-1650 the Spanish galleons carrying up to 300% of contraband. It is very difficult to assess, but undoubtedly, many millions.
A Spanish capitana or almiranta in 1650-1690 was carrying about 330 tons of precious metals
