In Steven Spielberg’s 1985 film The Goonies, kids who lived in the “Goon Docks” neighborhood of Astoria, Oregon, armed themselves with a map and went on a desperate search for legendary pirate One-Eyed Willy’s long-lost treasure. This past June, a team of volunteers unearthed over 20 pieces of wood in a cave off the Oregon coast that actually turned out to be wreckage from a Spanish galleon called the Santo Cristo de Burgos, also known as the Beeswax Wreck. Coincidentally, Steven Spielberg was so fascinated by the Spanish galleon that he set The Goonies in Astoria, Oregon, where remnants of the wreck have washed ashore for centuries.
