BBC NEWS | Americas | Argentine builders 'strike oil': "Construction workers in Argentina have struck oil - of the olive variety - as they unearthed a colonial-era Spanish ship believed to be 250 years old.

The galleon was discovered as workers dug the foundations of a block of flats in the old port area of Buenos Aires.

Two large jars found inside the ship seem to indicate that it had transported olive oil.

Experts believe the as-yet unidentified vessel was an 18th Century warship driven ashore by a storm.

It was subsequently buried under 7m (21ft) of mud."
