The 1715 Treasure Fleet was a Spanish treasure fleet returning from the New World to Spain. At two in the morning on Wednesday, July 31, 1715, seven days after departing from Havana, under the command of Juan Esteban de Ubilla, eleven of the twelve ships of this fleet were lost in a hurricane near present-day Vero Beach, Florida; because the fleet was carrying silver, it is known as the 1715 Plate Fleet. Some artifacts and coins still wash up on Florida beaches from time to time. Around 1,500 sailors perished. Many ships, including pirates, took part in the initial salvage. A privateer, Henry Jennings was first accused of piracy for attacking such salvage ships and claiming their salvages. Treasure hunter Kip Wagner's team built an exhibit held at National Geographic "Explorers Hall" in Washington, D. C., featured in the January 1965 issue of National Geographic. This was the beginning of a fine collection of 1715 plate fleet treasure that brought hundreds of visitors from around the world. Wagner published his book Pieces of Eight in 1966.

This is a detailed account of the finding and exploration of many of these shipwrecks along the Florida "Treasure Coast." An exhibit was set up with a grand opening on May 1, 1967, at the First National Bank of Satellite Beach, Florida. In 1987, another ship in the fleet, the Urca de Lima, became the first shipwreck in the Florida Underwater Archaeological Preserves. Fisher's company, Mel Fisher's Treasures, sold the rights to the 1715 Fleet shipwreck to Queens Jewels, LLC. In 2015, 1715 Fleet - Queens Jewels, LLC and their founder Brent Brisben discovered $4.5 million in gold coins off the coast of Florida.

The main character, Edward Kenway, is aboard one of the ships in the fleet as a prisoner, manages to escape with the help of his future quartermaster, Adéwalé, recruiting other captive pirates as a crew. The pirates manage to escape the fleet and the hurricane by stealing the twelfth ship, the brig El Dorado, which Edward keeps and renames the Jackdaw, becoming the player's ship for the rest of the game. Edward makes reference to the event when Blackbeard inquires as to how he got the Jackdaw, the latter suggests visiting the site to salvage some of the lost treasure. In the 1977 movie The Deep "David Sanders and his British girlfriend Gail Berke recover a number of artifacts, including an ampule of amber-colored liquid and a medallion bearing the image of a woman and the letters "S. C. O. P. N" and a date, 1714. St. David's Lighthouse keeper and treasure-hunter Romer Treece, believes the coin has come from the wreckage of a twelfth ship, a French tobacco ship, being protected by the 1714 fleet and named Grifon, returning to Havana for repairs but sank off the coast of Bermuda.

The plot of the Starz show Black Sails revolves around the 1715 Treasure Fleet in its first season. The largest of the ships, the Urca de Lima, is wrecked during the hurricane off the coast of Florida, carrying five million Spanish dollars' worth in gold and other precious materials, pursued by Captain Flint and his crew; the treasure, colloquially referred to as "the Urca gold", is an important plot device throughout the series.
