Four centuries of history underwater: Finisterre is looking for the trail of the Santa Maria La Anunciada galleon

In June 1596, the English sacked Cádiz. As retaliation, Philip II ordered the construction of a fleet of more than 100 ships intended to support the Irish uprising against the English crown. One of these ships was named 'Santa María La Anunciada.' Built in Italy, it departed from Lisbon in October of that year but was lost forever in the waves of the Costa da Morte, like many other vessels throughout history. The Xunta de Galicia is involved in underwater archaeology efforts related to this shipwreck, focusing on the area around Finisterre.
