Fierce weather off the coast of Namibia sent a treasure-filled ship to the bottom of the ocean nearly 500 years ago, but now an exploration led by diamond company De Beers has uncovered the long-lost booty. De Beers geologists stumbled on the shipwreck treasures that include tons of copper ingots, elephant tusks, gold coins and cannons likely used to fend off greedy pirates. The ship probably came from Spain or Portugal and sank in the late 1400s or early 1500s. Arrrrr booty!
