Pirate treasure is real. Here's how we found it. BY ROBERT KURSON...
Pirate treasure is real. Here's how we found it. BY ROBERT KURSON...
A Golden Age shipwreck, the rarest of finds, lay waiting in the deep to be found. But even after hundreds of years, time can run out… John Chatterton and John Mattera were days away from launching a quest they’d been planning for more than two years, a search for the treasure ship San Bartolomé, sunk in the seventeenth century and worth a hundred million dollars or more. To find it, they’d moved to the Dominican Republic and risked everything they owned and held dear. The discovery would make them rich beyond their dreams and engrave their names in the history books. The New York Times would profile them. Museums would hold black-tie affairs in their honor. Best of all, they knew just where to look.
And then their phone rang. http://boingboing.net/2015/06/18/pirate-treasure-is-real-here.html
