229. Gold coins in George shoal

Seeing Qin Shiou's luxurious trawl yacht, the fishermen on several other fishing boats were confused.

Soon someone pulled up in the boat. At a quarter of a mile away, the boat stopped. Someone stood in the bow with a horn and shouted, "Hey, rich man, are you on vacation? You chose the wrong place! Please go to Gloucester port for vacation. There are hot beauties and delicate beaches. Don't be here and don't make trouble for us. "

Although they all speak English, the Canadian accent is very different from the American accent, and there are also differences in many vocabulary and grammar. Therefore, Qin Shiou knew that he was an American as soon as he spoke.

He shook his head and said, "Americans are so rude and selfish. What if I bask in the sun here? This sea is not their backyard. "

Shaq standing next to him smiled: "although I hate Yankees, I have to explain, boss, he didn't want to dominate the catch here. Instead, we are worried that we will anchor here later or directly get off the hook. In this way, once someone catches tuna, those big guys will rush and bump everywhere, which will easily lead to disorderly lines, resulting in the cutting of the fishing line by the anchor rope or fishing line. "

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "it's so. Let's leave first and then drive the fishing boat back."

The sea monster said, "it's not like your style, boss."

Qin Shiou said, "this is my style. What if our own fishing line is cut off by the anchor cable later?"

The yacht started and turned, and the fishing boat showed its face. Qin Shiou, shack, sea monster and eworson took tigers and leopards on the fishing boat, while Nelson drove the yacht away from George shoal.

On the fishing boat, Qin Shiou leaned over to the sea and felt that he had come to the right place.

Far from the coast, marine pollution is naturally small, and the sea water in deep-sea waters is almost clear and completely transparent. It's just that the ocean is too deep for sunlight to reach the bottom of the sea, so it will look very dark.

But George shoal is different. The sea water here is relatively shallow, especially where Qin Shiou stops. The sea water depth must be less than 10 meters. The sun shines from the water surface to the seabed, shining the clear sea water.

In this way, the water level here seems transparent. When the sea was calm, Qin Shiou looked down into the water as if there was no sea water under the boat and the fishing boat was floating directly in the air.

This clear beauty shocked Qin Shiou for a moment. He couldn't help reaching into the water. He felt that he could touch the fine snow-white sand on the bottom of the sea as soon as he reached out.

From time to time, groups of Atlantic herring swim from the bottom of the sea, and seaweed stay quietly in the water. This dynamic and static picture is like an elaborate dynamic picture.

Lying on the bow of the boat for a while, Qin Shiou took out his mobile phone and began shooting. Dozens of photos came from various angles.

He took off his coat and jumped into the water. He controlled his body to keep balance in the water and asked Shaq to take some pictures. From the picture, he seems to be floating in the air, so we can see how clear the water is here!

The tiger and leopard saw him go into the water, jumped down and swam around him excitedly.

Qin Shiou managed to catch two little guys. Shack "clicked" and pressed the shutter. There were a series of photos.

After making trouble for a while, Qin Shiou turned over and got on the boat. Several fishermen on the fishing boat in the distance observed them with binoculars. When they saw Qin Shiou playing there, they thought it was a tourist. But when Qin Shiou got on board, fishing rods were erected on their fishing boats.

When he left Halifax yesterday evening, Shaq bought two boxes of frozen herring and mackerel. He put on gloves, took these small fish to the chopping board, took all four with a sharp knife and began to make bait.

Although the shallow place is beautiful, it is impossible to catch big fish, because big fish will not appear in such a conspicuous place.

The sea monster chose a place with a water depth of more than 40 meters, then dropped anchor and baited, and warmed up to work.

Qin Shiou immediately released the Sea God consciousness. He first wandered around, not only looking for fish, but also looking for the two sunken ships that Billy stammer told him.

The area of George shoal is not large, and it belongs to the shallow sea area, so if there is a treasure of sunken ships, it should have been fished away long ago. Then why are there two sunken ships here that have not been found?

The reason is very simple. The two sunken ships are small boats and small wooden boats. According to the investigation of aosaide company, there are two ships, a small sampan with a length of 6 meters and an ordinary wooden fishing boat with a length of 10 meters.

The sinking of the two ships was different. The small sampan sank in 1915. At that time, it was a naval ship escorting American Eagle ocean gold coins from New York to Acadia on the Maine border. The ship carried 50 Navy officers and soldiers and 40000 1907 Eagle ocean gold coins.

As a result, George shoal had shallow water and many rocks, and the naval ship ran aground when it came here.

There was a heavy rain on the sea that day. After the Navy officers and soldiers sent a distress signal, they hurriedly transferred the gold coin box to a sampan, and an officer led two soldiers to escort them out of here first.

Later, when they were rescued by leaning on the semi sinking warship, they found that the officers and soldiers who left first were dead, and the sampan carrying the gold coin box disappeared.

After dissecting the officers and soldiers, the Forensic Medicine found that they had no wounds and were drowned. In this way, it is basically certain that the sampan fell in the violent storm that night, and the gold box fell into the sea.

But the sampan is too small. The US government has deployed the Navy salvage team to search for it, but no one has found the salvage team.

However, this is how the fishery resources in George shoal were discovered. A fishery company that came to salvage gold saw that there were so many fish here, so it directly changed its goal, did not fish for gold, picked up fish, and promoted the development of the salvage industry here.

The other ship, with a name and surname, was called the Frey kenstein. The ship sank earlier during the American Civil War, that is, the civil war.

At that time, President Lincoln announced the abolition of the black slavery system, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many large plantation owners. A large plantation owner living in Concord wanted to transfer from the sea to the south where the anti Zhengfu army gathered with all the gold and silver articles exchanged by his family.

As a result, Frey kenstein also encountered Waterloo in George shoal, and a family of six escaped with only two children. According to the child's description, their ship hit rocks and sank in the waters of George shoal. As for the specific location, they certainly can't remember.

Over the years, countless salvage teams and fishing boats have come to George shoal to try their luck, but no one was lucky to find the two sunken ships.

Slowly, people lost interest in the two boats. They all speculated that the two boats were probably covered with seabed sand and could not be found at all.

What Qin Shiou wants to do is find them. According to the information given to him by Billy stammer, the treasure on both ships is worth more than $20 million. This is a huge sum of money and has to be exciting!
