A French frigate sank in protected waters off the coast of Panama in 1699, carrying a royal treasure thought to be valued at $24m. The ship, Maureas, and her lost treasure, went down near the remote San Blas archipelago and the search team, led by Deep Blue Explorers (DBE) and Pelorus X, has worked with the indigenous Guna Yala tribe who live on the islands and have held onto the secret of the wreck's location until now.

The vessel, with 154 Ethiopian migrants onboard, sank in the Gulf of Aden off the southern Yemeni province of Abyan early on Sunday, resulting in a tragic loss.

These kinds of discoveries are always so exciting because it allows a piece of lost history to resurface. It provides insights into our maritime past and cultural heritage.
