The Real Treasure That Inspired One-Eyed Willy
The legend of One-Eyed Willy was inspired by a real shipwreck!
The story of One-Eyed Willy's hidden treasure was inspired by the true tale of the Santo Cristo de Burgos, a Spanish galleon that vanished in 1693 while sailing from the Philippines to Mexico. The ship was laden with valuable cargo including silk, beeswax, and porcelain. It was presumed to have wrecked somewhere off the Oregon coastline. Indigenous tribes in the area had oral histories about the shipwreck, and artifacts like beeswax and porcelain shards have been found along the coast for centuries. Steven Spielberg, who created the story for The Goonies, drew upon these local legends for the film's premise. In recent years, timbers believed to be from the Santo Cristo de Burgos have been discovered in sea caves near Manzanita, Oregon, providing a tangible link to the film's inspiration!
