Searching for a 17 Billion Dollar Underwater Treasure | Jeff Kaeli, Oceanographic Engineer

300 years ago, a ship carrying treasures worth 17 billion dollars sank off the coast of Columbia. In 2015, a group set out to find it. That group included oceanographic engineer Jeff Kaeli, one of five team members from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Having dreamed of discovering a shipwreck since he was a kid, Jeff was hopeful that the advanced technology at their fingertips would help them uncover a piece of long-lost history. But after being missing for 300 years, the chances they'd find the ship weren't in their favor.
