After enjoying the yacht barbecue lunch and taking a short rest, everyone got busy again.
With the close cooperation of Kenny and Raymond, the yellow underwater robot was put into the sea again and slowly dived to the seabed more than 2,000 meters deep to explore the unknown dark world.
Peak returned to the bridge of the yacht. Once the underwater robot is in place, he will start the yacht and use the connected steel cable to drag the underwater robot to explore the entire sea area.
The person in charge of security was replaced by Miller. He was holding an M4A1 automatic rifle and staying on the flybridge deck, watching the situation on the surrounding sea vigilantly to prevent accidents.
The rest of the people took some time off and sat in the living room on the main deck, drinking beer and drinks while chatting and laughing amid the beautiful music. It was very comfortable!
The topic of everyone's chat was what was discovered in the depths of the ocean last night and this morning.
"Steven, we checked on the Internet this morning. The San Antonio is indeed a Spanish warship. It was built in the mid-17th century and has clear written records in history.
This is a relatively important warship. It mainly escorts treasure fleets traveling between Spain and the Latin American colonies. Its mission has almost remained unchanged since the day it was launched.
It was not in service for a long time. From the first time it went on an ocean voyage to the time it disappeared completely, it should have been in service for no more than five years. It can be said to be a very short-lived Galenic warship."
Matisse introduced the information found on the Internet in great detail!
This information was the same as what Ye Tian saw through his eyes, so he was not surprised at all. He just listened with a smile on his face, very relaxed!
The rest of the people listened very attentively, their eyes full of expectation.
Especially Johnny and Orlando, when they heard that the San Antonio was the frigate of the Spanish treasure fleet, their eyes suddenly became extremely bright, and they became even more excited!
At the same time, the two of them also turned to look at Ye Tian, with some doubts and a little more expectation in their eyes.
Obviously, these two guys are no longer so firm about their previous judgments.
Perhaps the St. Anthony battleship is really valuable for deep-sea salvage, and maybe we can find some surprises in it and win the first battle!
Matisse paused for a moment, took a sip of his drink, and then continued:
“The sudden disappearance of the San Antonio is a mystery in history. No one knows when it sank, let alone where it sank. They only know that it disappeared after leaving Colombia.
The relevant records are unclear as to what cargo this warship carried on its last voyage, but the Spanish colonial authorities seemed to attach great importance to this warship and conducted an intensive search!
Unfortunately, they could not find the shadow of this battleship at all, and the search operation ended in vain. From this analysis, this battleship does have certain salvage value, and it is worth taking the risk! "
Before he finished speaking, there was already a burst of discussion in the living room.
"Wow! The St. Anthony may not just be a frigate, but may also be a treasure ship filled with gold and silver treasures. In that era, it was normal for a battleship to serve two roles!"
"I think this is also possible. If it was just a battleship with powerful firepower, the Pirates of the Caribbean would not be able to hide in time! How could they be so stupid as to rush up and fight to the death!
Judging from the actions of the Spanish colonial authorities in dispatching fleets to search, the importance of the San Antonio battleship is obviously extraordinary, and it may be hiding major secrets!
There are no more than two reasons why the colonial authorities paid so much attention to it. One is the battleship itself and the many naval officers and soldiers on the ship, and the other is the large amount of wealth. Perhaps this is the main reason! "
Listening to everyone's discussion, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle, and said proudly:
"Bingo! You guessed it right, guys, the St. Anthony is indeed a treasure ship. There is a large amount of gold and silver treasure hidden in the cabin, which is enough to make most people crazy!
Because of this, those Caribbean Pirates would rush in and fight to the death at all costs, otherwise would they be able to survive if they were full? Wealth makes people jealous. This has been true since ancient times! "
After discussing the St. Anthony battleship for a while, everyone changed the topic and began to discuss the two unknown pirate ships discovered in the morning.
"Tell me, the two pirate ships discovered today may belong to that group of pirates? Is it possible that they are the vehicles of a famous pirate? For example, the pirate king "Captain Kidd"!
Captain Kidd is the most famous figure in the history of pirates. The whereabouts of his huge fortune is one of the most famous unsolved mysteries in the history of pirates. If only we could find the treasure of 'Captain Kidd'! "
Johnny asked enthusiastically, his eyes fixed on Ye Tian and Matisse, looking forward to their answers!
The other people were also very interested in the answer and looked here.
"It should not be the vehicle of 'Captain Kidd'. His pirate ship is the Lady of Quetta. It has clear written records and descriptions in history, and it does not match the two pirate ships on the seabed!
In addition to the difference in appearance, it also does not match the era. Captain Kidd actually became a Pirate of the Caribbean in 1690. By 1701, he was hanged for being a pirate!
Although he is very famous in the history of pirates, his era only lasted for just ten years. It was very short and incomparable with several other famous pirates who traveled across the Caribbean!
The two pirate ships we discovered are not Galen ships built between 1690 and 1701. One is from the early seventeenth century and the other is from the early eighteenth century. There is a big difference in age.
Although I didn’t see the names and flags of the two pirate ships, one thing is certain, they must belong to a famous pirate team. It is impossible for ordinary pirates to obtain such sophisticated ships and weapons! "
Ye Tian chuckled and shook his head and said, denying Johnny's conjecture.
"What a shame! It would have been great if one of these two pirate ships was William Kidd's Lady of Quetta, it would surely have shocked the whole world"
Orlando sighed a few words, his eyes filled with regret.
"In fact, there is no need to feel sorry. When we salvage these two pirate ships, I believe we will find more evidence and let us figure out the true identities of these two pirate ships.
Although they are not the Lady of Quetta, they may be the vehicles of other famous pirates, such as Blackbeard's 'Edward Teach', or the pirate ships of Cotton Jack and others. Anything is possible! "
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, looking very relaxed.
As to which famous pirates these two pirate ships belong to, he basically already has the answer in his mind, and now he is just waiting to check the data to prove it!
"Cotton Jack! It would be great if it were his pirate ship. As an advocate of the Skeleton Jolly Roger, although his strength is not very powerful, it is definitely of great significance!"
Johnny said excitedly, his eyes suddenly became extremely bright and shined!
Because he starred in "Pirates of the Caribbean", he has done some research on the history of pirates. He naturally knows about Cotton Jack and understands Cotton Jack's position in the history of pirates.
After chatting for about half an hour, everyone dispersed.
Johnny and Orlando went to rest in the bedroom on the lower deck. The exploration in the morning had consumed a lot of their energy, and they were both a little tired at this time!
Ye Tian was still energetic and did not feel tired at all.
After leaving the main deck living room, he walked towards the swimming platform at the stern of the yacht.
There, there is a cute sea elf waiting for him!
