Setting Sail

in the early morning on Tuesday, the 27th of September 2005 by Chad

Hmmm… might be time for me to take a quick trip to the southern hemisphere!

According to legend, a fabulous treasure haul was buried on the island in 1715 by Spanish sailor Juan Esteban Ubilla-Echeverria. The bounty is said to have been discovered a few years later by British sailor Cornelius Webb, who reburied it on another part of the island.

By some estimates the haul would include 800 barrels of gold ingots, silver pieces, gems and other riches worth up to $10 billion. Naturally, the promise of such fabulous wealth has attracted scores or treasure hunters to the island in the past.

Anyone willing to sign on as crew?

Arrrgh! Weigh anchor! Hoist the mizzen!! I’ll go with ye. We’ll either claim our share of booty… or find our way to Fiddler’s Green!
