In 2001, the author
reunited with his researcher in Spain where she combed many archives
locating thousands of pages of new material on
La Galga.
Within these ancient documents, there was found a report that the ship was
covered in sand within three days after of the wreck leaving only the upper
structure sticking out of the water which later broke to pieces. Extensive research was
also done in England and by the
author here in the United States where he uncovered never before
published documents on the history of the horses. With records from
Spain, the account of the ship and her captain bring the story finally
into the realm of our own national heritage. The most
comprehensive narrative that can be told, has.
The Hidden Galleon at last documents nearly three decades of dramatic and bizarre events
related to the real story of a lost Spanish warship and the wild ponies
of Assateague Island. The above print is available at Sundial Books, and the
gift shop at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, Chincoteague, VA. To
