Why is the "San Jose" said to be unlucky?

On May 28, 1708, a heavily armed and heavily guarded Spanish sailing ship slowly set off from a colonial port in Panama. This was the "San Jose". The weather was particularly good that day, and it was a good day for ocean sailing. However, the expressions of the Spaniards on the boat were not festive at all, and they were all so nervous that they did not dare to take a breath. It turned out that the ship was carrying a huge amount of wealth that they had recently looted in the South American colonies, including gold bars, silver bars, gold coins, silver coins, various gold and silver utensils, and a large amount of jewelry and jade. According to the value at the time, it was estimated to be about 1 billion pounds. This season was going smoothly, and they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to quietly transport them back home, but they were afraid of running into the British again, which had already given them trouble sleeping and eating.

Since the defeat of the "Invincible Fleet" in 1588, Spanish ships have never raised their heads in the Atlantic Ocean. Thinking about the arrogance of the past, and then looking at the frustration and weakness of today, the Spaniards dare to be angry but dare not speak out. Although more than a century has passed, they still evade the British fleet in despair all day long, and flee quickly when they see the shadow of the Union Jack. Unexpectedly, the more worried you are, the more likely it is to happen. As soon as the Spanish sailing ship here sets sail, spies there have already reported the British Royal Navy. At that time, the world-famous British Admiral Wegg immediately led the fleet to Spain in South America. An ambush has been set on the only way to pass.

Federz, the captain of the "San Jose", is not an ordinary person. He has been traveling at sea for so many years. He is not only familiar with the paths and climate of the sea, but also has the ability to hide and escape in the face of the British army. His skills are all top-notch. But for some reason, he started to feel agitated as soon as he went to sea this time, and he went on a rampage without any care, sailing straight forward in the waters controlled by the British. After a few days, there was no movement from the British. He was very happy. After a few more days, he would be home soon and there would be no more British coming to cause trouble. In such a big ocean, we can't always encounter bad luck every time we go back. Maybe this time there will be no problem. Just when Captain Federtz was getting carried away, Admiral Wegg of the British Royal Navy was close at hand. On June 8, when the Spaniards saw the British fleet lined up in front of them from a distance, they were all dumbfounded. At that time, some of the people on the boat were crying, some were shouting for help, some were stubbornly resisting, some were jumping into the water and running away, and they were all in a mess. The captain couldn't control the situation for a while, so he had to scold himself for being careless, but now he could only sit back and wait for death. The British fleet surrounded it. After a round of cannon fire, the "San Jose" was filled with flames. The water column under the ship soared into the sky. In an instant, only one mast was left exposed on the water. The "San Jose", its captain and more than 600 sailors, as well as the ship's gold and silver treasures, all sank into the vast sea. It seems that the spy was also careless. He only saw a ship going out to sea, but he did not know that the ship was loaded with countless gold, silver and jewels. After the cannon blasted them, they all disappeared.
