RE: 12 Days of Christmas, Day 6; Grand Shipwrecks of History; The San Jose

Awesome depiction of the San Jose, and a stunning coin depicting this magnificent ship!🤗
Ornate, brass guns, this must’ve been a very impressive tall ship!😀

And impressive as the bait.
The Spanish warships were still outgunned, the San Jose's Captain ordered the the remaining ships to continue on while his flagship turn to engage the English squadron to distract and lure their pursuers away.
My theory is that the Spanish Captain scuttled the San Jose to deny the British the huge plunder and preserve his honor.
Cool!
Thanks for the support @silvertop

Interesting strategy, he sacrifice his ship for the rest of his fleet!
Have a very Merry Christmas @kerrislravenhill !!🤗
