This part is interesting also! Largely intact!! Seems there couldn't have been very much of the ship missing? only my opinion nothing more.

From a historical point of view,finding a largely intact Spanish galleon was at least as important as locating the gold she carried. The construction techniques used to build such ships were a mystery before the Atocha find. "We've probably got as much structure as has ever been excavated from a Spanish galleon,' Dorwin says. "It's a major find.'

Resource Analysts first plotted theentire wreck on a giant grid. Each new discovery was photographed where it was found, charted on the grid, logged, and then hauled to the surface. So far, the massive catalog of finds includes swords, early muskets, ham and sea-turtle bones (pigs and turtles were carried alive on the ships for fresh meat), and a large assortment of contraband wealth, such as crude gold ingots not listed on the ship's manifest. Several pounds of emeralds had been smuggled aboard by a lowly sailor. The gems were discovered in Havana, however, and the unfortunate swabby was executed just days before his mates sailed to their deaths. The incident, along with the emeralds, was mentioned in the ship's manifest.


This is interesting also about the smuggled emeralds.
