Galleons and sunken treasure is entirely a work of historical research. All data come from historical archives. ie, the primary source is the millions of documents on Spanish shipwrecks, treasure galleons, etc. etc.. Nothing is copied from other authors. Everything is original. Reading my book you dive between the original stories of shipwrecks, recovery operations, pirates, sea battles, doubloons, ingots, gold, etc.. The book contains many pictures of original documents that attest to the shipwrecks, their cargo, etc. I think (and correct me if I'm wrong) who has never written a book like Galleons and sunken treasure. So it was classified as "historic heritage" by the Ministry of Culture of Spain. But it is a book intended for mass readership.
