Product Information
Sunk in a British ambush in 1708, the Spanish galleon San Jose was rumored to have one of the richest cargos ever lost at sea. Though treasure hunters have searched for the wreck's legendary bounty, no one knows exactly how much went down with the ship or exactly where it sank. Here, Carla Rahn Phillips confronts the legend of lost treasure with documentary records of the San Jose's final voyage and suggests that the loss of silver and gold en route to Spain paled in comparison to the loss of the six hundred men who went down with the ship. Drawing from rich archival records, Phillips presents a biography of the ship and its crew. With vivid detail and meticulous scholarship, the author tells the stories of the officers, sailors, apprentices, and pages who manned the ship and explains the historical context in which the San Jose became prey to the British squadron. But the story does not end with the sinking of the San Jose. While Phillips addresses the persistent question of how much treasure was on board when the ship went down, she focuses on the human dimensions of the tragedy as well. and examines the impact of the ship's loss on the Spanish government, the survivors, and the families of the men who perished. Original, comprehensive, and compelling, The Treasure of the San Jose separates popular myth from history and sheds light on the human lives associated with a treasure ship.

Reviews
It sounds like the title of a boy's own adventure tale or an Erroll Flynn movie, and rightly so: The Treasure of San Jos has a swashbuckling spirit and contains all the elements for an old-fashioned romance: sea battles, suave adventurers and sunken treasure. But it also displays the kind of detail and precision that comes from shrewdly plundered archives. Carla Rahn Phillips is clearly an assiduous historian with an eye for an extraordinary story., A penetrating micro-study of the Spanish monarchy during the conflict over the Spanish succession, drilling down into the lives of the men who struggled to keep a once-powerful force going in adversity, but which was now a hollowed-out husk, stretched to and even beyond its limits. The overwhelming impression this book gives is of an empire whose administrators, shipwrights and seafarers knew what was required to be done, who had lively debates over how the tasks they faced should be done, but who lacked the means to do so. The sheer effort required in running a worldwide empire in a pre-industrial age and the inevitable limitations come through with striking clarity., This is a well-written and well-researched book which can be effectively read by both scholar and novice., "It sounds like the title of a boy's own adventure tale or an Erroll Flynn movie, and rightly so: The Treasure of San José has a swashbuckling spirit and contains all the elements for an old-fashioned romance: sea battles, suave adventurers and sunken treasure.

Certainly the most fascinating portion of the book was Phillips minute description of the battle that resulted in the loss of the San Jose.' -- PhiloBiblos'A model work of historical investigation: painstaking, meticulous, searching. It is also an example of the best sort of microhistory: exhaustive in depth, but far-reaching in breadth. Documents are handled with unfailing deftness, and with a detective's tenacity, to provide a blow-by-blow account of the battle in which the San JosÚ went down and to resolve the question of how much cash it carried. Phillips displays versatile historianship, with outstanding work on ship construction, shipboard life, and the diplomatic background to the war.' -- Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, Tufts University'It sounds like the title of a boy's own adventure tale or an Erroll Flynn movie, and rightly so: The Treasure of San JosÚ has a swashbuckling spirit and contains all the elements for an old-fashioned romance: sea battles, suave adventurers and sunken treasure.
