A tedious retelling of a dramatic shipwreck and the very involved project to locate and salvage the gold from the shipwreck led by one “mad genius” type guy who sounds like he is very extra. There is a staggering amount of detail in parts and then a lot of hand wavey “And then they got the rest of the gold” at the end which felt very weird considering how much detail there was in the beginning. Looking up the story on Wikipedia, it seems that the mad genius went on the run rather than pay his creditors and investors. That’s the book I’d like to read.
