"Pique, hover the submarine at a height of five meters from the bottom of the sea, and slowly approach the wreck, the bottom of the sea does not seem to be very flat, for safety, don't fall to the bottom of the sea"

Ye Tian quickly looked at the underwater terrain outside the submarine, and then said to Pique, who was driving the submarine.

"Okay, Steven"

Peake nodded in response.

As soon as the words fell, the small Aurora submarine had stopped diving and was steadily hovering in the deep sea of about 300 meters, only less than five meters away from the bottom of the sea.

When the submarine stopped, Ye Tian immediately said excitedly:

"Guys, it's time to explore the shipwreck treasure, let's see what this Spanish Galen ship is for, and whether it is full of attractive gold and silver treasures!"

"Great! Steven, let's get started, I can't wait!"

Johnny's eyebrows fluttered, his eyes shining like searchlights.

"Me too, Steven, I can't wait to explore pirate treasures and shipwreck treasures, this is my childhood dream, I didn't expect it to come true one day, it's just cool!"

Orlando was also excited, staring at the shipwreck in front of him, and his eyelids were reluctant to blink.

As he spoke, they had picked up the binoculars in their hands and began to observe the ancient Spanish shipwreck in front of them.

"Hahaha, everyone's childhood dreams have pirates and shipwreck treasures, especially the mysterious pirate treasures, which are full of temptation, and I even wanted to be a pirate captain when I was a child!"

Ye Tian said jokingly, a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he turned to Peake and said:

"Pique, drive the submarine over and stop about five meters from the wreck"

As soon as the words fell, the small submarine immediately moved and slowly drove past the shipwreck on the bottom of the sea in front of it.

Moments later, the submarine had arrived at its intended position and came to a steady stop.

It wasn't until they arrived here that they really got a full view of the Galen sailboat.

It is a galleon more than fifty meters long, with six decks, three below the main deck and the other three on the main deck, mainly wooden shipyard buildings.

And the four iconic masts on the main deck reveal exactly where this Galen ship came from, and it was indeed a Spanish four-masted Galen, no doubt about it!

In addition, the decoration of this sailboat, which can be seen from the outside, is also a strong testament.

Outside the porthole of this sailing ship, you can see a large number of carvings, which have lost their colors and appear very dull after hundreds of years of erosion by the sea.

But from its intricate patterns, as well as the characters and stories it reflects, it is clear that the Galen sailing ship belonged to Spain.

After the completion of the Spanish galleon, the interior decoration is usually carried out at the expense of the state, and the sailing ship in front of you that has been sleeping on the bottom of the Caribbean for hundreds of years is one of them.

During the renovation process, the Spaniards carved the inside and outside of the portholes of the sailboat, and decorated the religious figures and Spanish history in the form of carvings or oil paintings, which looked extremely gorgeous.

These renovations can take a long time, often lasting months.

The main part of the renovated Galen is dark in color, and the corners and building are painted in bright colors, and the edges are sometimes inlaid with metal.

All in all, the decoration of the Spanish Galen ship carried their strong religious and national feelings, and also made the Spanish Galen ship more eye-catching than other European countries.

After the renovation was completed, the Spaniards also performed a 'baptism' naming ceremony for the sailing ships, which were usually named after saints and virgins, or other religious figures.

The Galen ship in front of me has a good name, called 'St. Anthony', and the name of the ship is engraved on the side of the ship, not far from Ye Tian, and the handwriting is faintly visible.

Obviously, this is not an unnamed sailing ship, but an ocean-going sailing ship with a certain status, and perhaps some information about it can be found in some literature.

Compared to the three-masted galleons of the same period in Britain and Northern Europe, this Galen was larger, more carrivable, and had a deeper draft.

Of course, it is also more bulky at sea and less agile in its reactions.

Ye Tian visually estimated that the displacement of this Galen ship should be as high as about 800 tons, and in the era of sailing ships, it was definitely a majestic behemoth across the Atlantic!

But this is not the largest Galen ship, the largest Galen ship built in Spain, with a displacement of up to 2,000 tons!

And in the famous Spanish Armada, in 1588, there were more than ten giant Galen ships, which were extremely powerful, which is one of the reasons why they were called the Invincible Armada!

It's a pity that this kind of giant Galen ship is more suitable as a transport ship, and it is a bit too clumsy and unwise to use it as a warship across the sea!

Because of this, the Spanish Armada lost the Battle of Almada in 1588 to the English fleet, which had smaller Galen ships as the main force of warships.

The defeat at the Battle of Almada marked the decline of Spanish maritime supremacy and the rise of the British Empire.

In addition to quickly judging that this was a medium and large Galen ship, everyone also clearly saw the firing ports and gun emplacements on the two decks on the waterline and above the main deck, dense and numerous!

From this, it can be seen that the original purpose of this St. Anthony Galen must have been a warship across the sea.

Whether it will be converted into a transport ship, or a treasure ship to and from both ends of the Atlantic, is unknown, and will only be known if it is explored closely.

And why did this battleship sink in this sea area? After sleeping at the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years, Ye Tian and the others also found the answer on the hull.

The battleship must have gone through a very tragic naval battle, and only sank at the bottom of the sea after suffering a near-devastating heavy damage!

The right side of its hull was scarred, and there were more than a dozen holes of various sizes, some the size of a human head, some more exaggerated, with a diameter of nearly fifty centimeters, which could not be sealed at all.

In particular, the seven or eight holes above and below the waterline are even more shocking, which should be the most direct cause of the sinking of the St. Anthony in the sea.

In addition to these, the planks on the right side of the sailboat's hull are full of cracks, like spider webs, which are so exaggerated that they are about to fall apart!

Under these circumstances, it is a miracle that the St. Anthony can still be preserved in a more or less intact manner, and it can be said that it has been sleeping in the depths of the sea for hundreds of years!

Ye Tian What they saw was only the situation on the right side of the hull, and what the left side of the hull looked like was unknown for the time being.

But as you can imagine, the situation over there is no better!

After a quick look at the battleship ahead, Peake excitedly said:

"Steven, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a battleship with a displacement of at least 800 tons, which is very rare! And it is named after a saint!

It seems that we are very lucky, and we may have found a huge treasure, even if there is no gold or silver treasure in this ship, the sailing ship itself is estimated to cause a sensation!"

Hearing his words, Ye Tian immediately nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"Yes, this is indeed a major discovery, and it will definitely cause a sensation, but I would prefer to find a large number of treasures in this shipwreck, and that would be the perfect result!"

"Wow! It's so beautiful, who would have thought that there was such a huge old sailing ship in the depths of the Caribbean Sea, it's incredible!"

Johnny said with emotion, his eyes fixed on the ancient sailing ship in front of him.

"What's next? Steven, I wonder too much what this sailboat is for, is it just a battleship, or is it full of gold, silver, and jewelry?"

Orlando asked, his eyebrows fluttering with the same excitement.

"Guys, don't worry, the answer will be revealed soon, I'm sure the battleship 'St. Anthony' will surprise us"

Ye Tian said with a smile, full of confidence.

With that, he was already looking at the ancient sailing ship that was close at hand.
