The Book of Buried Treasure. Being a True History of the Gold, Jewels, and Plate of Pirates, Galleons, ETC., Which are sought for to this Day ( Ralph Delahaye Paine 1911)
This book mentions Sir William Phips who supposedly had information on the 1502 treasure fleet in Hispaniola. The book says:
"Sir William Phips, during his last visit to London, was planning another Treasure voyage. "The Spanish wreck was not the only nor the richest wreck which he knew lying under the water".
He knew particularly that when the ship which had Governor Bobadilla aboard was cast away, there was, as Peter Martyr says, "An entire table of gold of 3310 lbs weight.
"Upon a mighty shelf of rocks and bank of sands that lies where he had informed himself.""
Anyone ever found more information concerning William Phips and the "El Dorado" of Bobadilla?
