Yep, These ships had m more than just coins on them...

That is for sure! Even the smaller ones had a lot
of parts -cast of iron, copper pewter, bronze, silver and gold.

Unless what we actually found was the toll gate leaving the new
world....
There is a lot more of our ship(s) out there...

Good post. I think it's amazing she's still listed as "active" after more than 230 years. I liked the last statement and learned something new too-

The original fixtures and drapes, created by Nelson's mistress Emma Hamilton, were used to disguise the fact that officers on board the ship slept in boxes which resembled coffins - in which they would be buried if they died at sea.

nail me up in a box!
