229.Gold coins from George Shoal

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

Soon someone leaned up in a boat. At a quarter-mile distance, the boat stopped. Someone stood at the bow with a horn and shouted, "Hey, Fu Guy, are you here for vacation? You chose the wrong place! Please go to Gloucester Harbor on vacation, where there are hot beauties and delicate beaches. Don't be here, don't cause trouble for us."

Although they speak English, the Canadian accents are very different from those of the United States, and many words and grammars are also different. So as soon as this person spoke, Qin Shiou knew that this was an American.

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

Shaq, who was standing next to him, smiled and said, "Although I hate Americans, I have to explain, boss, he asked us to leave not to dominate the catch here. Instead, he was worried that we would break down here later or directly put the hook. In this way, once someone caught tuna, those big guys would rush around and bump around, which would easily cause messy lines, which would lead to the anchor cable or fishing line cutting off the fishing line."

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "So that's the case. Then we will leave first and then drive the fishing boat back."

The sea monster said, "This is not like your style, boss."

Qin Shiou said: "This is my style. What if our own fishing line is cut off by an anchor cable later?"

The yacht started to move and the fishing boat was revealed. Qin Shiou, Shaq, Sea Monster, Evosen, took the tiger and the leopard on the fishing boat. Nelson drove the yacht away from George's shallows.

After getting on the fishing boat, Qin Shiou leaned over and looked into the sea, and felt that he had come to the right place.

Away from the coast, the ocean pollution will naturally be small, and the sea water in the deep sea water is almost clear and completely transparent. It’s just that the ocean is too deep. The sunlight cannot shine on the seabed, so the sea water will appear very dim.

But George's shallows are different. The sea water here is relatively shallow, especially where Qin Shiou and others dock. The depth of the sea water is definitely less than ten meters, and the sunlight shines from the water surface to the bottom of the sea. The clear sea water shines brightly.

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

This clear beauty shocked Qin Shiou for a moment. He couldn't help but reach into the water, feeling that he could touch the delicate white sand at the bottom of the sea with just stretched out his hand.

From time to time, groups of Atlantic herrings swim past the seabed, and seaweed stay quietly in the water. This combination of movement and stillness is like a carefully crafted dynamic picture.

After lying on the bow of the boat for a while, Qin Shiou took out his cell phone and started shooting. Dozens of pictures came from various angles in a row.

He took off his shirt and jumped into the water, controlling his body to maintain balance in the water, and let Shaq take a few photos. From the photos, he seemed to be floating in the air. From this we can see how clear the water here is!

Hu Zi and Leopard watched him get into the water, jumped down after finding a job, and swam around him excitedly.

Qin Shiou finally caught two little guys, and Shaq pressed the shutter "Crack" and another series of photos.

After a long time of trouble, Qin Shiou rolled over onto the boat. Several fishermen on the fishing boat in the distance watched them with telescopes. When they saw Qin Shiou playing there, they thought they were tourists. But when Qin Shiou got on the boat, fishing rods were erected on their fishing boat.

When he left Halifax yesterday evening, Shaq went to buy two boxes of frozen herring and mackerel. He put on gloves and took the fish to the chopping board with a quick knife and started making bait.

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

The sea monster had a very experienced choice of a place with a water depth of about 40 meters, and then broke down and spread bait to warm up.

Qin Shiou immediately released the consciousness of the sea god. He wandered around for a while, not only looking for fish, but also looking for the two wrecks that Billy Stemmer told him.

George's shallows are not large in area and belong to shallow sea areas. If there is a treasure of a shipwreck, it should have been fished out long ago. Then why are there two shipwrecks here not found yet?

The reason is very simple. These two wrecks are small boats and small wooden boats. According to Osed Company's investigation, two boats are a small sampan with a length of 6 meters and an ordinary wooden fishing boat with a length of 10 meters.

The sinking of these two ships was not the same thing. The small sampan sank in 1915. At that time, a naval ship escorted American Eagle Ocean gold coins from New York to Arcadia on the Maine border. The ship carried a total of 50 naval officers and soldiers and 40,000 Type 1907 Eagle Ocean gold coins.

As a result, George's shallow water and reefs were numerous, and the naval ship was stranded when it arrived here.

It started raining heavily in the sea that day. After the naval officers and soldiers sent a distress signal, they hurriedly moved the gold coin box to a sampan, and an officer led two soldiers to escort it away first.

Later, they were rescued by leaning on the half-sinking warship, but found that the officers and soldiers who left first were dead, while the sampan carrying gold coin boxes disappeared.

After the forensic doctor conducted an anatomy on the officers and soldiers, they found that there were no wounds on their bodies and they were drowned. This is basically certain that the sampan fell from the storm that night, and the golden box fell into the sea.

However, the sampan was too small. The US government successively dispatched naval salvage teams to search but failed to find them. There were more salvage teams from the public, but the box of gold coins was not found.

However, this is how George Shoal fishery resources were discovered. When a fishing company that came to salvage gold saw that there were such a rich group of fish here, it changed its goal and did not catch gold and fished the fish, which led to the development of the salvage industry here.

Another ship had a name and surname, called the "Borikenstein". This ship sank earlier, during the American Civil War, that is, during the Civil War.

At that time, President Lincoln announced the abolition of the black slave system, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many large planters. A large planter living in Concord wanted to transfer from the sea to the southern area where the anti-zhengfu army gathered.

As a result, Foley Kenstein also encountered Waterloo in Georges Shoals, and the family of six escaped only two children. According to the children's description, their boat sank in the waters of Georges Shoals. As for the specific location, they must not remember it.

Over the years, countless salvage teams and fishing boats have been to George Shoals to try their luck, but none of them are lucky enough to find these two wrecks.

Gradually, people lost interest in these two ships, and they all guessed that the two small ships were probably covered by the sand under the sea and could not be found.

What Qin Shiou wanted to do was find them. According to the information given to him by Billy Stemmer, the treasures on these two ships were worth more than 20 million US dollars, which was a huge sum of money and had to be moved! (To be continued)
