Did the "Queens Dowry" actually exist?

Question

Is the treasure "The Queens Dowry" from the movie "Fools Gold" based on an actual ship wreck? If so what ship(s) and where did it/they sink?

Answer 1

No, the Queen's Dowry was a fictional ship, loosely based on many of the Royal Spanish Galleons sank during the Mexican Inquisition period by pirates seeking the gold that the Spanish were bringing back to their Government. Although the Queen's Dowry itself is fictional, the overall jist of the concept is totally real.
