Colombia&#39;s army has shared spectacular images of the historic San Jose galleon shipwreck, hidden underwater for three centuries and believed to have been carrying riches worth billions of dollars in today&#39;s money.</p>
<p>
&ldquo;The San Jos&eacute; was a 62-gun, three-masted galleon that was sunk by the British with 600 people on board in 1708 in the War of Spanish Succession&nbsp; before being found in 2015 laden with gold and valuables now thought to be worth $17 billion,&rdquo; according to a Newsweek report.</p>
<p>
Columbia&#39;s Authorities said they had also discovered two more shipwrecks during their observation mission — a colonial-era galleon and a schooner from the post-colonial period.</p>
<p>
Four observation missions using a remotely operated vehicle were sent to the wreck at a depth of almost 3,100 feet off Colombia&#39;s Caribbean coast, the army said in a statement.</p>
<p>
Cannons partially covered by mud are visible alongside porcelain crockery, pottery, glass bottles and gold pieces, the statement said.</p>
<p>
These missions, carried out by the navy under the supervision of the culture ministry, found the galleon untouched by &quot;human intervention,&quot; it added.</p>
