Kilbride was after the coffin for a while wether he made it past Saba rock or not who knows, Marx would purportedly tease him about the dog deal, could be a Marx bar story (not on his part) or could be true, I heard it from a few sources one very accurate, cannot recover the data until my vacation next month, i beleive it.

There have been several attempts to find the coffin. I spoke to one guy who tried. He said that there was so much silt in the harbor that the chances of finding the coffin were virtually zilch.
Then a few years ago, Victor Benilous (the same guy who claims to have found the so-called emerald treasure ship off Cape Canaveral) got permission from the Panama Government to search for it and an English schoolteacher called Michael Turner tried to raise an expedition to find the coffin first and rebury Drake in Westminster Abbey, London. The British Navy was adamantly against the scheme and managed to snuff it out.
I have no doubt that the story about Spain finding the coffin is completely bogus.
Well if you don't need evidence to support your beliefs, let me remind you that the moon is made of cheese. Somebody told me that once, so that should be enough to convince you.
Well, if whole wrecksites in this area can disappear,I doubt Drakes coffin is still around, But, I did find some lead washed up on a beach near Colon JD
