Shaped like a ship’s figurehead, the handle of a crushed silver pitcher survived an early 17th-century shipwreck off the northwest coast of Cuba. Reefs around the island snagged hundreds of Spanish galleons transporting the wealth of the New World to Seville, Spain’s official port of entry. Today Cuba is filling in details of its own history as it begins to investigate the wrecks.
