Early Oregon coast settlers find large pieces of beeswax and broken porcelain in the dunes near present day Manzanita, Oregon.

Native American oral tradition tells a story of a large ship wrecking on the coast.

An interdisciplinary team of archaeologists, scientists and volunteers collaborate on the "Beeswax Wreck Project" over the past 10 years. The group identifies the wreckage as being from the Santo Cristo de Burgos based on porcelain dating, geologic analysis and archived Spanish records.

The location of the wreck offshore is still unknown.
