Genoese Ship Sunk by Francis Drake Identified in Cádiz Bay

More than four centuries after the famous English privateer Sir Francis Drake raided the Spanish port of Cádiz, archaeologists have identified the remains of one of his victims. Lying beneath the mud of the Bay of Cádiz, researchers have confirmed the wreck of the San Giorgio e Sant’Elmo Buonaventura, a Genoese merchant vessel sunk during Drake’s audacious 1587 attack. Reported by El País, this discovery offers a rare and tangible glimpse into the maritime trade and naval preparations that preceded the launch of the Spanish Armada.
The San Giorgio e Sant’Elmo Buonaventura was first uncovered in 2012 during dredging operations for a new container terminal at the Port of Cádiz, where it was initially labeled the “Delta II” wreck. A multidisciplinary study by the Andalusian Historical Heritage Institute (IAPH), involving specialists in genomics, dendroarchaeology, palaeobiology, physicochemistry, and archival research, has now confirmed its identity. The vessel, owned by Pietro Paolo Vassallo and captained by Clemente Vassallo, had arrived in Cádiz on a state mission ordered by King Philip II of Spain, carrying military supplies and bronze cannons intended for the massive Spanish Armada being assembled in Lisbon.
