The shipwreck codenamed MOG-003 was found in Infusse reef,
Mogincual, in the Province of Nampula, Republic of Mozambique, in
2004 during a magnetometer survey of the area. It has been
tentatively identified as the S o Jos, a Portuguese Indiaman
vice-flagship (Almiranta) from the 1622 fleet en route from Lisbon
to Goa, India, lost at this location on the 24th of July of 1622
during a battle against the Anglo-Dutch fleet. The archaeological
excavation of this wreck provided a collection of artefacts from
the late 16th and the early 17th centuries which allowed the study
of the numismatic and artillery aspects of that time. The evidence
confirms that the S o Jos was carrying Spanish reales minted in the
Americas and Spain, belonging to the Portuguese crown.
