Chapter 1815 EP1816. Caribbean?

Perhaps because it was tied too tightly with spider silk, the coral covering the wooden board was dislocated and peeled off. When the sinking wooden board was illuminated by the sunlight penetrating into the water, a few blurred parts could be seen vaguely. of letters.

Feeling a little curious, Gwen swam forward to catch the board. She stretched out her hand to peel off the remaining coral while examining it carefully.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Gwen's actions, Harry and Peter were a little confused, and they also came over.

"Nothing." Having clearly seen what was engraved on the wooden board, Gwen shook her head in confusion and handed it to Harry: "It's just a wooden sign. I thought it was a piece that fell off a sunken ship. 's wreckage."

After taking a look, Harry shook his head and complained: "Old Crocodile Bar...that's what the name is, it's really not in good taste."

He didn't focus on the wooden board, but followed Gwen's words and unconsciously started to reminisce. After thinking for a moment, Peter hesitantly raised his head and looked at Gwen: "There don't seem to be such 'old' shipwrecks here in Hawaii, right?"

Tracing back the history of human beings sailing into the sea, it can be said to be four to five thousand years ago.

It is no exaggeration to say that traces of sunken ships can basically be found in all sea areas where human footprints have reached.

There are also a large number of shipwrecks in the waters near the Hawaiian Islands.

Taking a closer look at the shipwrecks in the waters near the Hawaiian Islands, the most famous one in the eyes of tourists is the large oil tanker wreckage on Lanai Shipwreck Beach.

Although today I don’t remember much about the original name of the boat, but when I see it lying rusty on the coral reef, with its hull exposed above the water standing quietly between the sea and the sky, people always have doubts. A feeling like being in a dream.

It's rare to see it anywhere else, so it leaves a deep impression.

It’s no wonder that this sunken ship, which is so rusted that it’s about to fall apart, is particularly memorable to tourists. Once they see it, they will never forget it again.

However, if we put aside the bonus points brought by the visual effects and rank the sunken ships in the waters of the Hawaiian Islands purely based on the reputation of the ship itself, the broken ship near Lanai Island is still a bit worse. .

Don’t forget, there was a big battle here during World War II.

In the Pearl Harbor incident launched by the Japanese army, as many as 12 US warships were severely damaged, and if you include those with moderate damage, the number reached 18.

Although most of these warships were repaired in the future, the casualties were only two to three thousand. Generally speaking, the losses on the US side were not very serious. But this incident itself has left a mark in human history and is of extremely important significance.

As the protagonist in the incident, the only warship that was abandoned for repairs after the sinking, the Arizona's presence is obviously much greater. No matter how you look at it, it is not comparable to the unknown sunken ship near Lanai Island.

Let's put it this way, except for those tourists who have been to Lanai and were captured by the scenery of the shipwreck beach, if you ask anyone at random, "Which shipwreck in the waters near Hawaii is the most famous?", even if he doesn't mention it in his answer When it comes to the USS Arizona, most likely they will mention the Pearl Harbor incident many years ago and define the scope as "those battleships that were sunk by the US military".

"That's right, I got it wrong." She smiled sheepishly, and a blush appeared on Gwen's face: "This is Hawaii, not the Caribbean."

Not the Caribbean? What's the meaning?

The 'old' shipwrecks Peter mentioned refer to those wooden sailing ships that relied on sails to travel across the ocean before the invention of the steam engine, and then sank to the bottom of the sea due to various accidents.

Because they were popular in the Age of Discovery, most of the activities of those wooden sailing ships were concentrated on the routes of Europe, Africa, Eurasia, Europe and the United States. Especially along the line from Europe to the west coast of Africa and the Caribbean, travel is even more frequent.

On the Pacific side, the routes of wooden sailing ships only extend to East Asia at most.

As for the Hawaiian Islands, which are located more than 3,500 nautical miles east of the Japanese Islands...

At that time, there were no Panama Canal and Suez Canal, and large ships from European countries would go around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa to Asia. The journey was already unbearably long. In addition, the "golden land" they discovered at that time only extended to East Asia, and the more distant depths of the Pacific Ocean were not attractive to them. Therefore, the European powers did not consider sending fleets here at all.

Near the Hawaiian Islands, it is naturally impossible to find the remains of wooden sailing ships left over from the Age of Discovery.

"When I get the chance next time, I can try to go to the Caribbean. Maybe I can really find a sunken ship and discover many treasures left hundreds of years ago." I fantasized about discovering treasures in the sea. , Peter also showed a fascinated expression.

"What are you talking about?" Seeing that the three of them had been floating here motionless, Skye came over with Kangna who had returned to the sea again.

"Nothing, we were talking about treasure hunting at the bottom of the sea." Turning to look at Skye and Connor, Peter replied gesticulating: "It's just looking for sunken ships on the bottom of the sea, and then going to the wreckage to search for the treasures left by the pirates. ”

"Pirate treasure?" Skye laughed: "Generally speaking, wouldn't the treasures snatched back by pirates be hidden on an island? That's what the stories say."

"Who knows? Maybe they were sunk by others before they could move the treasure back to the island." While putting his arm on his friend's shoulder, Harry interjected: "Or, we You can also shift the target to those treasure ships that were sunk by pirates. Those that sank so quickly may have been emptied by the pirates in the little time before they sank, but those that sank faster would be empty. There are definitely many good treasures to be found in the warehouse.”

"Sounds like quite interesting, count me in~!" Not only did she find the treasure hunting activity itself interesting, but as a giant dragon, Kangna was also very interested in the shiny treasures on the sunken ship. So as soon as she heard Harry's words, she immediately raised her little hand and cast her vote very excitedly.

"Of course, we are on the same team." Harry smiled and stretched out his arm, bumping fists with Connor: "Let's take some time later and let's study it together. As far as I know, the ship that sank in the Caribbean Sea Many ships have left relevant records. If you pay more attention, you should be able to collect some useful clues."

"The Caribbean..." Suddenly recalling what Shi Xiaolei once said, Kangna's eyes lit up again: "Then let's go on the Black Pearl~! Locke said that it was originally a ship sailing in the Caribbean A pirate ship on the sea, and full of legends, as good as Queen Anne's Revenge."

"Well, it seems he said ha."

"Driving the Black Pearl to the Caribbean, it feels like..." She didn't know what kind of scene she was imagining, so Kangna rubbed her hands unconsciously: "Hey, I feel excited just thinking about it. "
