Chapter 1815 EP1816. The Caribbean?

Perhaps it was because the spider silk was tied too tightly just now, causing the coral covering the wooden board to dislocate and peel off. The sinking wooden board was illuminated by the sunlight penetrating into the water, and a few blurred objects could be seen faintly. letters.

Curious, Gwen swam forward to catch the plank, and examined it carefully while peeling off the remaining coral.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Gwen's actions, Harry and Peter were a little confused, and they followed suit.

"Nothing." Now that she saw clearly what was engraved on the wooden board, Gwen shook her head dumbfoundingly, and handed it to Harry, "It's just a wooden signboard, I thought it was a piece that fell off a sunken ship wreckage."

After taking a look, Harry also shook his head and complained: "The Old Crocodile Bar...it's named after that, and the taste is really bad."

He didn't pay attention to this board, but followed Gwen's words and unconsciously started to recall. After thinking for a while, Peter raised his head and looked at Gwen hesitantly: "There don't seem to be such 'old' shipwrecks here in Hawaii, right?"

Looking back at the history of human beings entering the sea by boat, there are at least four or five thousand years of history.

It is no exaggeration to say that wrecks can basically be found in all sea areas where human footprints have been reached.

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

Counting the shipwrecks in the waters near the Hawaiian Islands, the most famous in the eyes of tourists is the wreck of the large oil tanker on the shipwreck beach of Lanai Island.

Although I don't remember much of the original name of the boat today, but seeing it lying on the coral reef with rust spots, and the hull out of the water standing quietly between the sea and the sky, people will always have A feeling like being in a dream.

It is rare to see it elsewhere, so it will leave a deep impression.

It's no wonder that this shipwreck, which is so rusted that it is about to fall apart, will make tourists remember it deeply, and it will never be forgotten after just one glance.

However, if the bonus points brought by the visual effects are not mentioned, and the shipwrecks in the waters of the Hawaiian Islands are ranked purely based on the reputation of the ship itself, the broken ship near Lanai is still a little 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 as many as 18 ships were counted if they were moderately damaged.

Although the vast majority 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 event itself has left a strong mark in human history and has extremely important significance.

As the protagonist in the incident, that is, the only warship that was abandoned for repair after the sinking, the USS Arizona's presence is obviously much larger. No matter how you look at it, it is not comparable to the unnamed shipwreck near Lanai Island.

Let's put it this way, except for those tourists who have been to Lanai Island and are captured by the scenery of the shipwreck beach, if you ask someone at random to ask him "which shipwreck song is the most famous in the waters near Hawaii", even if he doesn't mention it in his answer When it comes to the USS Arizona, seven or eight out of ten will mention the Pearl Harbor incident many years ago, and will delineate the scope of "those warships that were bombed and sunk by the US military".

"That's right, I misunderstood." She smiled embarrassingly, and a blush flew on Gwen's face: "This is Hawaii, not the Caribbean."

Not the Caribbean? What's the meaning?

The "old" shipwreck mentioned in Peter's words refers to the wooden sailboats that were driven by sails to and from the ocean before the steam engine was invented, and then sank to the bottom of the sea due to various accidents.

Because of the prevalence in the age of great navigation, the range of activities of those wooden sailboats is mostly concentrated on the routes of Europe, Africa, Europe and Asia, and Europe and America. Especially in the front line from Europe to the west coast of Africa, and the Caribbean region, the traffic is more frequent.

On the Pacific side, the route of wooden sailboats only extends to East Asia at most.

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

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

In the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands, it is naturally impossible to find the wreckage of wooden sailing ships left over from the age of great navigation.

"When I have a chance next time, I can try going to the Caribbean Sea. Maybe I can find a sunken ship and find many treasures left hundreds of years ago." I imagined the scene of finding 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, Skye brought Connor who had returned to the sea again and came together.

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

"Pirate treasure?" Skye laughed: "Generally speaking, the treasures that the pirates **** back will be hidden by them on a certain island, right? It's written like that in the stories."

"Who knows? Maybe they were sunk by others halfway before they could move the treasure back to the island." While stretching out his arms on his friend's shoulders, Harry interjected, "Or, we You can also shift your target to those treasure ships that were sunk by pirates~lightnovelpub.net~ The ones that didn’t sink so fast might be evacuated by the pirates in the short time before they sank, but those sunk If you hurry up, you will definitely find many good treasures in the warehouse."

"Sounds interesting, count me in!" Not only did the treasure hunt itself feel very interesting, but as a giant dragon, Connor was also full of interest in those shiny treasures on the sunken ship. So when she heard Harry's words, she immediately raised her little hand and voted very excitedly.

"Of course, we are in the same group." Harry stretched out his arm with a smile, and shook his fist with Connor: "Go back and take some time, let's study together. As far as I know, the Many ships have left relevant records. If you pay attention, you should be able to collect some useful clues."

"Caribbean..." Suddenly recalling what Shi Xiaolei had said, Kang Na's eyes lit up again: "At that time, let's drive the Black Pearl~! Locke said that it was originally a ship sailing on the Caribbean Sea. The pirate ship is full of legends, comparable to the Anne's Revenge Queen."

"Well, it seems he did."

"Driving the Black Pearl for a tour of the Caribbean Sea, that feeling..." Not knowing what kind of scene he imagined, Kang Na rubbed her hands unconsciously: "Hey, I feel excited just thinking about it."
