Ownership of undersea gold treasure discovered near a Spanish ship that sank more than 300 years ago is making waves. The ship, or galleon, named the San Jose could be worth billions of dollars in lost treasure. The Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History says it discovered the sunken wreck. But an American company says it discovered the ship 30 years ago and owns much of the loot. Colombian President Juan Manual Santos said Saturday that the ship was found by an international team of experts. He would not reveal the ship’s location. But the ship is not located where the U.S. company said it was in the early 1980s, he said. The sunken treasure includes jewelry and gold coins and could be the largest ever found. Experts believe the cargo could be worth billions of dollars if recovered.

An American company called Sea Search Armada says it found the wreck in 1982. Courts in the United States, Colombia and Spain have looked at the dispute. Maritime law usually gives the discoverer of a shipwreck half of the value of the cargo. But in 1984, Colombia passed a law that gave the company only 5 percent of the value. Colombia’s Supreme Court says the cargo must be recovered before it can decide who owns the ship. Santos said Colombia’s claim would be protected. He said a new museum will be built in Cartagena to show the items recovered from the ship. The navy is closely guarding the shipwreck.
