This is a #Portuguese ship that sailed from Lisbon in 1533. Her fate was unknown for centuries until her remains were discovered in the #Namibia desert during diamond mining operations near the coast.
The Bom Jesus turned out to be an interesting and very valuable find: on board were many Spanish and Portuguese gold coins (which helped identify the ship), about two thousand German copper bulls and more than 100 elephant tusks. The total value of all assets is estimated by experts at $13 million.
