    229. The gold coins of George's Shoal

    Seeing Qin Shiou¡¯s luxurious trawl yacht, the fishermen on the other fishing boats were a little confused.

    Soon someone drove a boat up, and a quarter of a mile away, the boat stopped. Someone stood on the bow with a loudspeaker and shouted: "Hey, rich man, you are here for a vacation."  Really? You chose the wrong place! Please go to Gloucester Harbor for your vacation, where there are hot beauties and fine sandy beaches. Don¡¯t stay here, don¡¯t cause us any trouble.¡±

    Although they all speak English, the Canadian accent is very different from the American accent, and many vocabulary and grammar are also different, so as soon as this person opens his mouth, Qin Shiou knows that he is an American.

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

    Shaq, standing next to him, smiled and said: "Although I hate Americans, I have to explain, boss, he didn't ask us to leave because he wanted to monopolize the catch here. He was worried that we would anchor here later, or directly  The hook is set, so that once someone catches tuna, those big guys will rush around and easily cause the line to be messed up, causing the anchor rope or fishing line to cut the fishing line."

    Qin Shiou shrugged and said: "So that's it, let's leave first and then come back in the fishing boat."

    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 by the anchor cable later?"

    The yacht started and turned around, and the fishing boat was revealed. Qin Shiou, Shaq, Sea Monster, and Ivoson were on the fishing boat with Huzi and Leopard, while Nelson drove the yacht away from George Shoal.

    After getting on the fishing boat, Qin Shiou leaned over and looked into the sea, feeling that he was in the right place.

    Far away from the coast, marine pollution is naturally less, and the water in deep sea waters is almost clear and completely transparent.  It's just that the ocean is too deep and the sun doesn't reach the bottom of the sea, so the water looks very dark.

    But George Shoal is different. The sea water here is relatively shallow, especially where Qin Shiou and the others docked. The depth of the sea water must be less than ten meters. The sun shines from the surface of the water to the bottom of the sea, shining the clear sea water.

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

    This kind of clear beauty shocked Qin Shiou for a moment. He couldn't help but reach out into the water, feeling like he could touch the fine, snow-white sand on the bottom of the sea.

    From time to time, groups of Atlantic herring swim across the bottom of the sea, and seaweed stays 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 and watching it for a while, Qin Shiou took out his mobile phone and started taking pictures, taking dozens of photos from various angles.

    He took off his shirt and jumped into the water. He controlled his body to maintain balance in the water and let Shaq take a few pictures.  From the photo, it looks like he is floating in mid-air, which shows how clear the water here is!

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

    Qin Shiou finally caught the two little guys, Shaq clicked the shutter, and another series of photos came out.

    After a long commotion, Qin Shiou got on the boat. Fishermen on several fishing boats in the distance observed them with binoculars. When they saw Qin Shiou playing there, they thought he was a tourist.  But when Qin Shiou got on the boat, fishing rods were erected on their fishing boat.

    When leaving Halifax yesterday evening, Shaq bought two boxes of frozen herring and mackerel. He put on gloves, took these small fish to the chopping board, cut them into four parts with a sharp 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 was very experienced and chose a place with a water depth of about forty meters, then anchored, spread bait, and warmed up to work.

    Qin Shiou immediately released his Poseidon consciousness. He wandered around for a while, not only looking for fish, but also looking for the two sunken ships that Billy Stermer told him.

    The area of ??George Shoal is not large, and it belongs to a shallow sea area. If there are sunken treasures, they should have been fished out long ago.  So why are there two sunken ships here that have not been found yet?

    The reason is very simple, these two sunken ships are small boats, small wooden boats.  According to the inspection of the Orside Company, the two boats were a small sampan with a length of 6 meters, and the other was an ordinary wooden fishing boat with a length of 10 meters.

    The difference between these two shipsYes, the 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 a total of 50 naval officers and 40,000 1907-style Eagle Ocean gold coins.

    As a result, the George Shoal was shallow and rocky, and the navy ship ran aground when it reached here.

    There was a heavy rain on the sea that day. After the naval officers and soldiers sent out a distress signal, they hurriedly transferred the gold coin box to a sampan. An officer led two soldiers to escort him away from here first.

    When they were later rescued while leaning on the half-sunken warship, they found that the officers and soldiers who had left first were dead, and the sampan carrying the gold coin box had disappeared.

    Forensic doctors conducted an autopsy study on the officers and soldiers and found that they had no wounds on their bodies and were drowned.  This basically confirms that the sampan overturned during the violent storm that night and the gold box fell into the sea.

    But the sampan was too small. The U.S. government dispatched naval salvage teams to search but failed to find it. More private salvage teams came to search, but the box of gold coins was still not found.

    However, this is how the fishery resources of George Shoal were discovered. A fishing company that came to salvage gold saw that there was such a rich fish population, so it directly changed its goal. Instead of fishing for gold, it fished out fish, which promoted the salvage here.  industry development.

    The other ship had a name and was called the 'Filkerenstein'. This 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 all the gold and silverware exchanged for his property from the sea to the anti-zhengfu army.  Gathered in the southern region.

    As a result, Frankenstein also encountered Waterloo at George's Shoal, and only two children of a family of six escaped.  According to the children's description, their boat ran aground and sank in the waters of George Shoal. As for the specific location, they certainly cannot remember it.

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

    Slowly, people lost interest in the two boats. They all speculated that the two boats were probably covered by the sand on the seabed and would be impossible to find.

    What Qin Shiou wants to do is to find them.  According to the information Billy Stermer gave him, the treasures on the two ships were worth more than 20 million US dollars each. This was a huge sum of money, and it had to be tempting!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
