The Queen's Dowry is an immense treasure that currently lies at the bottom of the ocean.
In 1715, 12 ships laden with an enormous amount of gold, silver, jewels and rare Chinese porcelain, were headed for Spain but sank off the coast of Florida. Part of their cargo was destined to be the Spanish Queen, Isabella Farnese's, dowry.
The treasure, considered by some to be the largest ever seen, is supposedly worth USD3billion today.
