El Cazador, a Spanish brigantine of war, was
lost in the winter of 1784 while en route from
Vera Cruz, Mexico, to New Orleans. The wreck
was discovered in 1993 by a fishing vessel
working the area. The treasure of the El
Cazador, consisting of over 400,000 Spanish 8
Reales and an equal amount of smaller
denomination coins from the Mexico City mint,
was intended to stabilize the Spanish monetary
system in colonial North America. The loss
contributed to Spain\'s conveyance of Louisiana
to France\'s Napoleon in 1800. The rest is
history, as three years later in 1803, Napoleon
sold Louisiana to the United States, instantly
doubling the size of the country.
