The San Felipe, launched in 1690, was one of the most beautiful Spanish galleons of the 17th century. It was the flagship of the famous Spanish Armada, displacing over 1,000 tons and armed with 96 cannons, allowing it to take on the formidable ships of the French and British navies. The role of the San Felipe in the war against the British and French was to protect Spanish settlements and ports, transport treasures, and secure the long and dangerous return route to Spanish ports.

In 1705, the San Felipe participated in a fierce and heroic battle between 12 Spanish ships and 35 British ships. After 24 hours of fighting, it was captured by an English ship, but was so severely damaged that it could not be salvaged as a prize. It sank with several tons of gold to the bottom of the ocean.
