Buddy and Mike are back! And they are here with all the Sirène frigate crew. Romain Dos Maderas told the story of Spanish Galleon San José, known as The Holy Grail of Shipwrecks. Budy, Mike and the crew wants to find the legendary Galleon. San José was a 64-gun galleon of the Spanish Navy, launched in 1698, and sank in battle off the coast of Cartagena, Colombia, in 1708, while laden with gold, silver and emeralds worth an estimated $17-22 billion. The Sirène sailed on the waves of the wide Pacific, the crew experienced various adventures along the way, and finally they managed to reach the Caribbean. They dock in the port of Buena Vista in Colombia, where they expand the fleet with a second ship called Santa Anna. Buddy and Mike saved life of a sailor and perhaps a pirate, Gerald Montana, who told them he owed them the same, and he and his frigate Santa Anna were at their disposal forever. Together, the two ships sail to Panama City and then pass through Miraflores and the Caribbean Sea. During a search around Cratagena, the crew learns that Jose Fernandez de Santillan, Captain of San José, was headed for Havana, the ship was bombed, but did not sink in Cartagena. But he could no longer reach Cuba, so he hid the ship and the treasure somewhere near Port Royale and wanted to return for it, but that did not happen because he was killed in Jamaica a moment later by a British admiral. So the ship is hidden somewhere at sea in a cave near Port Royale. They finded the Galleon.
