Chapter 758: Spanish Armed Carrier

"Wow! It really is a sunken ship. From the analysis of the hull profile, it should be Galen. I hope it is the treasure ship of the Malaga Princess that we have been looking for. It is perfect!"
Ye Tian said with excitement, his eyes were unusually bright, shining straight.
"Judging from the length and shape of this Galen sailboat, it is indeed very possible, but whether it is the Malaga Princess or not, we have to go and see to be sure!"
Matisse's voice came from the headphones, also very excited.
At this moment, they were on the bottom of the sea at a depth of 125 meters, watching a shadow tens of meters ahead, which was what Raymond and the others had detected with sonar!
Although it was still far away and couldn't see the specific situation, Ye Tian and the others made an accurate judgment when they saw the shadow at first sight.
That was 100% a sunken ship, and it was a medium-sized Galen sailing ship produced in Spain, no doubt!
The hull of nearly 50 meters in length, the tall ship building at the stern, the four masts of different heights standing above the main deck, etc., are all obvious evidence.
As soon as Mattis's voice fell, Johnny's excitement came from the earphones.
"Awesome! Steven, this might be the treasure ship of the Malaga Princess! It is full of dazzling gold and silver treasures! Unfortunately, the sunken ship is too deep for us to participate in the exploration! "
"Don't regret it, Johnny, if this shipwreck is indeed the Malaga Princess, you can take a small sightseeing submarine and take a closer look!
Even if you want to participate in the subsequent salvage operations and witness the process of the sinking treasures coming out of the water, it is not impossible, as long as you have plenty of time and have this leisurely feeling! "
Ye Tian said with a light smile, and at the same time moved on with Matisse, gradually approaching the shadow.
"This idea is great! I look forward to witnessing the Malaga Princess, which has been sleeping under the sea for nearly 300 years, and also looking forward to the moment when the sunken treasure is successfully salvaged and shocked the world!"
Orlando's voice came from the earphones, very excited.
As they spoke, the distance between Ye Tian and the sunken ship in front of them had narrowed to within 20 meters.
Under the strong light of the thruster searchlight, the external situation of the sunken ship was clearly presented in their eyes, which was enough for them to make a more accurate judgment.
The shipwreck is located on a flat seabed, very stable, lying on its side quietly at an angle of forty-five degrees, allowing the ocean currents to wash away and the years to attack, gradually decay and decompose!
The length of this shipwreck is about 50 meters, which is the standard length of the Galen ship. The ship building at the stern is three stories high, and there are three floors below the main deck. There are six decks in total. It is a medium and large Galen ship sailing!
On the main deck of this Galen ship, there are four masts of different heights. This is the main symbol of the Spanish Galen ship that distinguishes Galen from other countries. It is very obvious!
These alone are enough to prove the judgments made by Ye Tian and Matisse before!
no doubt! This is a Spanish galleon!
In addition, from the large tracts of colorful corals growing on the outside of the hull, it can be seen that this Spanish Galen ship has sunk into the sea for a long time, at least two to three hundred years old!
Confirming this, Ye Tian's eyes suddenly became brighter and more excited!
Obviously, the time when the Galen ship sank to the bottom of the sea happened to be at the same time as the Malaga Princess.
As for whether this shipwreck is the treasure ship of the Malaga Princess that everyone is looking for, further exploration is needed to know! I believe the answer will be revealed soon!
Ye Tian and the others did not rush to approach this ancient shipwreck and could not wait to verify their conjecture, but quickly reduced the speed of the propeller engine and stopped!
The two stood on the sandy bottom of the sea a dozen or twenty meters away, using the searchlight at the front of the thruster to continue to observe the sunken ship, in order to understand its external situation more thoroughly!
It can be seen that this ancient Spanish Galen ship was sunk. As for whether it was the Pirates of the Caribbean or the British Navy that sunk it, it is unknown!
The three-story ship building at the stern was very badly damaged. There were holes everywhere on the side of the ship building, and there were traces of fire burning, which can be described as devastated!
Three masts standing on the main deck were broken, and only half of each remained on the ship. I didn't know where the upper half was dropped. Only the mast at the bow was well preserved!
Ye Tian and the others on the right side of the hull also encountered a fierce attack.
The part above the waterline and the ship's side were all traces of bombardment, and holes of different sizes were one after another! Some of the ship's planks were smashed by solid shells, and the situation was terrible!
Especially the few large holes with a diameter of 30 to 50 centimeters near the waterline are even more shocking. Perhaps that is why the Galen sailing ship sank to the bottom of the sea!
In addition to these, Ye Tian and the others also saw a lot of gun positions, scattered on the main deck and the other two decks above the waterline, there were dozens of them!
There are also many ancient artillery pieces hundreds of years ago. Some are still on the main deck, and some have fallen to the bottom of the sea. All of them are severely corroded and have been completely scrapped and have no value!
From the distribution and number of gun positions, and other characteristics, Ye Tian and the others judged that it was an armed transport ship, not a Spanish warship.
This discovery made Ye Tian and the others even more excited. Perhaps this Galen ship was the main target of this Caribbean trip, the Malaga Princess ship!
Observing from where Ye Tian and the others are, they can only see so many things!
If you want to truly determine the identity of this Galen ship and figure out what the cargo is on board, you can only approach it for inspection, and even enter the cabin to learn more!
When observing the shipwreck, Ye Tian didn't turn on the perspective, and secretly checked the situation inside the shipwreck. It is not time yet, and that would lose a lot of fun!
The result is important, but the process of exploring the treasure is more interesting and exciting.
It didn't take long for Ye Tian and Matisse to have a basic understanding of the external conditions of the sunken ship.
Obviously, so far, this shipwreck is a surprising discovery!
As for the extent of the surprise, it depends on the contents of the sunken ship. Are the cabins full of dazzling gold and silver treasures, and how many are there? What is the value?
These problems can only be known if they step forward and continue to investigate.
Ye Tian pointed the submersible thruster forward again and said with a chuckle through the earphones:
"Guys, I can tell you with great certainty that this is a Galen sailing ship, and it is a Spanish armed transport ship. It should have been two to three hundred years since it sank to the bottom of the sea.
Although I don’t know the identity of the sunken ship yet, I have a hunch! Perhaps we have found the main goal of this trip to the Caribbean, the Malaga Princess ship! "
As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of excitement in the earphones.
"Awesome! Steven~EbookFREE.me~ I hope your hunch is correct, that shipwreck is the Málaga Princess treasure ship, that’s perfect!"
"The shipwreck treasure found nearly three hundred years ago on the bottom of the Caribbean Sea! God! What a wonderful thing this is, it's incredible, it's just like a dream!
Steven, hurry up and enter that sunken ship, find out its true identity, look forward to your good news, and we look forward to witnessing the dazzling gold and silver treasures! "
Listening to these excited cheers in the headphones, both Ye Tian and Matisse burst into bright smiles.
"Hahaha, these guys can't wait! Okay then! Let's go! Matisse, go and see what the treasure is in this sunken ship!"
With that said, Ye Tian had activated his submersible thruster and quickly swam to the sunken ship not far ahead!
"Okay! Steven, let's discover the shipwreck treasure together! I love this treasure hunt to death, and I love the dazzling gold and silver treasures!"
Matisse smiled excitedly, and drove the submersible thruster to follow.
