Disputes over ownership and recovery of the San José shipwreck, a Spanish galleon sunk in 1708 off Colombia, have emerged. Colombia's recovery plan, involving a Swedish robot, clashes with Spain's ownership claim and Sea Search Armada's $10 billion demand. The wreck, deemed cultural heritage, led to an investigation of former Colombian president Santos and the cancellation of a public-private partnership.
