This paper reviews the search for the suspected wreck of a Spanish Manila galleon off the Oregon Coast that sank near the end of the seventeenth century. Included are summaries of the 2006-2009 terrestrial surveys and the 2013-2014 diving operations. The sometimes-conflicting historical record is summarized and compared to the results of four terrestrial and two underwater field seasons. The result is an informed estimate of the wreck’s location.
