Chapter 711: Cotton Jack

After enjoying the barbecue lunch on the yacht and taking a short break, everyone was busy again.

With the close cooperation of Kenny and Raymond, the yellow underwater robot was lowered into the sea again and slowly dived to the bottom of the sea at a depth of more than 2,000 meters, to explore the unknown dark world.

Pique returns to the yacht's bridge, and once the robot has dived in place, he starts the yacht and uses the attached steel cable to tow the robot across the ocean.

The person in charge of the guard was Miller, who stayed on the deck of the flybridge with an M4A1 automatic rifle, vigilantly watching the surrounding sea in case something unexpected happened.

The rest of the people were idle and sat in the main deck living room, drinking beer and drinks while chatting to beautiful music, which was very pleasant!

The topic of conversation was the discovery in the depths of the ocean last night and this morning.

"Steven, we checked on the Internet this morning, and the St. Anthony is indeed a Spanish warship, built in the mid-seventeenth century, and there is a clear written record in history.

It was a relatively important warship, mainly escorting treasure fleets between the Spanish mainland and the Latin American colonies, and its mission remained almost unchanged from the day it was launched.

It was not in service for a long time, from its first voyage to the ocean to its complete extinction, it should have been in service for no more than five years, and it can be said that it was a very short-lived Galen battleship"

Matisse introduced the information found on the Internet, which is very detailed!

This information was the same as what Ye Tian saw through his eyes, so he didn't feel any surprise, he just listened with a smile on his face, very relaxed!

The rest listened intently, their eyes full of anticipation.

Especially Johnny and Orlando, when they heard that the San Anthony was the frigate of the Spanish treasure fleet, their eyes suddenly became extremely bright, and the whole person became even more excited!

At the same time, the two of them also turned their heads to look at Ye Tian, with some doubts in their eyes, but also a little more expectation.

Obviously, these two guys are not so firm in their previous judgments.

Perhaps the battleship St. Anthony really has the value of deep-sea salvage, and maybe you can find a lot of surprises from it, and win the first battle!

Matisse paused, took a sip of his drink, and continued:

"The sudden disappearance of the St. Anthony is a historical mystery, no one knows when it sank, let alone where it sank, only that it disappeared after leaving Colombia.

It is not clear what the cargo was carried on the last voyage of this battleship, but the Spanish colonial authorities seem to have taken this battleship very seriously and searched for it vigorously!

It's a pity that they didn't find the shadow of this battleship at all, and the search operation ended in vain, from this analysis, this battleship does have a certain salvage value, and it is worth taking a risk!"

Before the words fell, there was already a discussion in the living room.

"Wow! The St. Anthony may not just be a frigate, perhaps also a treasure ship full of gold and silver treasures, and in those days, it was normal for a warship to do two hats!"

"I think it's also possible, if it's just a powerful warship, it's too late for the Pirates of the Caribbean to hide!

Judging from the actions of the Spanish colonial authorities in sending a fleet to search for it, it is clear that the importance of the battleship St. Anthony is extraordinary, and it may be hiding a great secret!

There are two reasons why the colonial authorities attach so much importance to it, one is the battleship itself and the many naval officers and sailors on board, 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 lightly, and secretly said proudly:

"Bingo, you guessed it, folks, the St. Anthony is indeed a treasure ship, and there is a huge amount of gold and silver treasure hidden in the hold, enough to drive most people crazy about it!

That's why those Caribbean pirates will rush forward at any cost, otherwise they will be fed and supported? Wealth makes people red-eyed, and there is no exception to ancient times!"

After discussing the battleship St. Anthony for a while, everyone changed the subject and began to discuss the two unknown pirate ships discovered in the morning.

"Tell me, the two pirate ships found today may belong to that group of pirates? Could it be the car of a famous pirate? For example, the king of pirates, Captain Kidd!

Captain Kidd is the most famous figure in the history of piracy, and the whereabouts of his huge fortune are one of the most famous unsolved cases in the history of piracy, if only we could find the treasure of 'Captain Kidd'!"

Johnny asked with interest, his eyes fixed on Ye Tian and Matisse, expecting them to give an answer!

The rest of the people were also interested in this answer and looked at it too.

"It shouldn't be Captain Kidd's car, his pirate ship is the Lady Quetta, which has a clear written record and description in history, and it does not match the two pirate ships at the bottom of the sea!

In addition to the difference in appearance, the chronology is also inconsistent, Captain Kidd actually became a Pirate of the Caribbean in 1690, and by 1701, he was hanged for piracy!

Although he is very famous in the history of piracy, his time was only a short ten years, which is very short, and it cannot be compared to several other famous pirates who roamed the Caribbean!

The two pirate ships we found 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, and 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 some famous pirate team, and it is difficult for ordinary pirates to get such a good ship and weapons!"

Ye Tian chuckled and shook his head and said, rejecting Johnny's conjecture.

"It's a pity! If one of these two pirate ships was William Kidd's Lady Quetta, it would have been a sensation in the world."

Orlando sighed a few words, his eyes full of regret.

"Actually, there is no need to regret it, when we salvage these two pirate ships out of the sea, I believe we can find more evidence, so that we can find out the true identity of these two pirate ships.

They weren't the Lady Quetta, but they were the cars of other famous pirates, like Blackbeard's Edward Titch, or the pirate ships of Cottonjack and others, anything was possible!"

Ye Tian said with a chuckle, his expression was very relaxed.

For these two pirate ships belong to those famous pirates, he basically has the answer in his heart, and now he is just waiting for the information to prove it!

"Cottonjack! it would be great if it was his pirate ship, as an advocate of the skull pirate flag, although his strength is not very strong, it is definitely significant!"

Johnny said excitedly, and his eyes instantly became extremely bright and shining!

Because of starring in "Pirates of the Caribbean", he also has studied the history of piracy, so he naturally knows 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 their bedroom on the lower deck to rest, they were a little tired from their morning exploration!

Ye Tian was still full of energy, and he didn't feel tired at all.

After leaving the main deck parlor, he walked to the swim platform at the stern of the yacht.

There, a cute sea spirit is waiting for him!
