President Ivan Duque announced Tuesday that two more shipwrecks have been found near the area where the San Jose galleon was sunk in the country's waters. "We have already found two additional vessels: one vessel from the colonial period and another that, from the point of view of preliminary analysis, corresponds to the Republican period of our history," Duque said in a press briefing.
