Chapter 372: Six Treasure Shipwrecks in the World

   (One update today, I have private affairs to be busy with, woohoo~)

In the corner of the bar, Shuichi Minano was smoking a cigarette and drinking a small drink.

There is no ocean horse here to chat up. It seems that the ocean horses of the American Empire do not like to chat with the islanders about their ideals in life.

"Don't say it, I miss Iloti a little bit." Minano Shuichi muttered to himself, blowing out a smoke ring.

However, it is estimated that it is difficult to stay with Iloti in the current situation.

There are all kinds of people in the bar, in groups of threes and fives, or some alone like him. But many young men and women who are alone come here to have fun. Anyway, they just took them away when they saw each other.

Of course, there are also many friends who come here to drink and chat and blow water.

Like the table next door, four or five middle-aged uncles were drinking wine and bragging, and judging from their appearance, they should not usually get together.

"Hey, did you know that Mel Fisher set up a company called "Saving Treasures" a few days ago, and plans to search for Spanish shipwrecks in the waters around Southern California. This time I asked him to come to the party and he said he was not available Come." A big bearded man said in his loud voice.

"No wonder! When I went up to his city, I wanted to play with him and he said he was busy, so he was doing something!"

"Looking for the Spanish wreck? Was he crazy about money! Are the Spanish wrecks so easy to find?"

"He has also found a lot of sunken ships over the years, and it stands to reason that he has a lot of money. Why are you looking for that ethereal Spanish treasure wreck?"

"I don't know, he is a persistent lunatic!"

"also~"

Listening to the chat of the people at the table next door, Shuichi Minano suddenly felt that the name of the person named 'Mel Fisher' was so familiar. In addition to this and the Spanish treasure shipwreck, it was also very familiar.

As Minano Shuichi continued to listen to the chat of those few people, he finally remembered something.

"It turned out that they were talking about the Spanish shipwreck, one of the world's six most famous treasure shipwrecks in history!" Minamino Shuichi remembered from his own memory.

In later generations, the world's six famous treasure wrecks are: the wreck of the Lady Atoka, the wreck of the Batuhitam, the wreck of the Sussex, the wreck of the Spanish Gold Fleet, the wreck of the "Zhongmei" gold rush ship, the wreck of the Apo The Maru ship sinks!

Each of these six treasure wrecks is priceless. It is said that the ship is full of gold treasures, and whoever salvages it will definitely become rich.

This news has been reported by many media in later generations. At that time, Shuichi Minano also saw it, so I remember it.

In fact, the last wreck of the Awa Maru was salvaged by Shuichi Minano. It's just that he doesn't know it!

Anyway, every treasure wreck is priceless. The last time Shuichi Minano got 40 tons of gold is a good proof.

For example, like the wreck of the first Lady Atoka, this wreck known as the largest treasure under the sea has 40 tons of treasure, including nearly 8 tons of gold and 500 kilograms of precious stones. The value of all the treasures is about 400 million US dollars.

The wreck of the second Batu Hitam is said to have 60,000 items including ceramic jugs, tea bowls, and gold and silver tableware with relief carvings. These precious items are all Chinese ceramics produced in the 8th century.

The third Sussex wreck is said to be full of 10 tons of gold coins!

The wreck of the fourth Spanish gold fleet, it is said that about 5000 carriages of gold jewels sank to the bottom of the sea.

The fifth gold rush ship "Zhongmei" was wrecked. It is said that a ship of gold was in it, but the details are unknown.

As for the sixth Awa Maru wreck, it was dozens of tons of gold.

Minano Shuichi heard from the people at the neighboring table that the Spanish Treasure Shipwreck was actually the first shipwreck of the Madame Atoka, and the man named Mel Fisher was a treasure hunter. In fact, he also started a shipwreck salvage company .

If he remembered correctly, in the end, after thirty years of searching, the Mel Fisher family finally found the wreck of the Lady Atoka, and obtained the treasure on the wreck!

In the 16th century, Spain used the most brutal way to plunder its colonial wealth. At that time, South America was proved to be rich in gold, silver and other rare resources, so the only job of the Spanish colonists in the New World was to mine and operate mines. Ships of gold and silver treasures became the ultimate proof of colonial plunder.

Spanish gold carriers are most afraid of pirates and hurricanes. In order to deal with pirates, each fleet is equipped with a sturdy "escort ship" equipped with cannons. Madame Atoka is such a **** ship. In August 1622, a fleet of 29 ships, where the Madame Atoka was located, returned to Spain from South America, laden with treasure. Because it is a **** ship, everyone put the most valuable and most treasures on the Lady Atoka. Unfortunately, the cannon of the Lady Atoka has no deterrent effect on the hurricane. As the fleet sailed into the waters between Havana and Cuba, the hurricane swept the last five ships in the fleet. Due to its heavy load, the Lady Atoka sailed at the slowest speed and became the first target of the attack. The ship quickly sank to a depth of 17 meters. Sailors on the other ships jumped into the water, hoping to salvage some treasure, but just as they found the wreckage and were about to salvage the gold bars, another more powerful hurricane hit, killing everyone underwater.

This is where this treasure shipwreck came from.

In 1955, Mel Fisher established a company called "Save the Treasure", which specialized in finding Spanish shipwrecks in the waters of Southern California. In his 20-year salvage career, Fisher has salvaged 6 famous Spanish shipwrecks, becoming a celebrity in the circle and earning a lot of money. Before he knew it, Fisher was old enough to retire, but he was reluctant to leave the salvage ship because he had sworn to find the legendary Lady Atoka, the most treasured ship. So the whole family gave up the normal operation of the company for this ideal. Fisher's wife, son and daughter went into the water with their father, looking for their dreams on the seabed. Their search was meticulous, using metal detectors whenever they saw anything that wasn't a stone. On July 20, 1985, Fisher and his family found the Lady Atoka and tons of gold on it, but this joy was dulled by 30 years of hardship. Fisher thought God would let him find the Lady Atoka, but it just kept testing his patience.

The one above is a famous report of later generations! The reason is because Mel Fisher's family found the treasure shipwreck. This report and true story were big news in the 80s at the time.

"That is to say, if there is no accident, this treasure shipwreck of the Lady Atoka will eventually be found by this family in 1985!" Hideo Minami looked at the people at the next table, if they knew that their wreckage would be 30 years later Friends really found the treasure and the wreck did not know if they would laugh at it.
