Just as interesting as the wreck itself is the tale of how historians and archaeologists have pieced together the story of the final voyage of the Santo Cristo de Burgos, a ship that left the Philippines in the summer of 1693 laden with precious cargo and was never seen again. La Follette will also discuss the aftermath of the galleon wreck: a fevered century and a half of treasure-hunting centered on the Neahkahnie Mountain area, and its effects on Oregon’s cultural resources protection laws. The saga of the Santo Cristo de Burgos is the subject of the summer 2018 issue of the Oregon Historical Quarterly. The Reader's Guide will provide copies of the Oregon Historical Quarterly for purchase.
