Chapter 757: Spanish Armed Transport Ship

"Wow! It really is a sunken ship. From the analysis of the hull profile, it should be Galleon. I hope it is the treasure ship of the Malaga's Princess that we are looking for. It would be perfect!"

Ye Tian said with excitement, his eyes were unusually bright, shining straight.

"Judging from the length and appearance of this Galleon, it is indeed very possible, but whether it is the Malaga's Princess or not, we have to go and see to determine!"

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. That was exactly 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 the first glance, only from its outline.

That are one hundred percent a sunken ship, and it is a medium-sized Galleon sailing ship produced in Spain, no doubt!

The hull of nearly 50 meters in length, the tall cabin at the stern, and the four masts of varying heights standing above the main deck are all obvious evidence.

As soon as Matisse's voice fell, Johnny's excitement came from the earphones.

"Awesome! Steven, this may be the treasure ship of the Malaga's Princess! It is full of dazzling gold and silver treasures! It is a pity that the sunken ship is too deep for us to participate in the exploration operation!"

"Don't regret it, Johnny, if this shipwreck is indeed the Malaga's Princess, you can take the small sightseeing submarine and take a closer look!

Even if you want to take part in the subsequent salvage operation 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 continued to move forward with Matisse, gradually approaching the shadow.

"This idea is great! I look forward to witnessing the Malaga's Princess that has been sleeping under the sea for nearly 300 years, and I look forward to seeing the sunken treasure successfully salvaged from the water and shocking 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 a Galleon ship. The ship cabin at the stern is three stories high, and there are three floors below the main deck. There are six decks in total.

On the main deck of this galleon ship, there are four masts of different heights. This is the main symbol of the Spanish galleon ship that distinguishes it from galleon ships in other countries.

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 Galleon ship has sunk to the bottom of 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 Galleon ship sank to the bottom of the sea happened to be in the same era as the Malaga's Princess.

As for whether this shipwreck is the treasure ship of the Malaga's Princess that they are looking for, it needs further exploration to know! He believe the answer will be revealed soon!

Ye Tian and Matisse were not in a hurry to approach this ancient shipwreck and couldn't wait to verify their conjecture, but quickly reduced the speed of the propeller engine and stopped!

The two of them 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 have a more thorough understanding of its external situation!

It can be seen that this ancient Spanish Galleon 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 cabin at the stern was very badly damaged. There were holes everywhere on the side of the ship cabin, 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. The upper part was not known where it was dropped. Only the mast at the bow is well preserved!

Ye Tian and Matisse saw that the right side of the hull also encountered a fierce attack.

The part above the waterline and the ship's side has traces of bombardment, and holes of different sizes one after another! Some of the ship's planks were smashed up 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's why the Galleon 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. There were dozens of them all over the main deck and the other two decks above the waterline!

There are also many ancient artillery pieces from hundreds of years ago. Some are still on the main deck, and some have fallen to the bottom of the sea.

From the distribution and number of gun positions, as well as some other characteristics, Ye Tian and Matisse judged that this was an armed transport ship, not a Spanish warship.

This discovery made Ye Tian and Matisse even more excited. Perhaps this Galleon ship was the main target of this Caribbean trip, the Malaga's Princess ship!

Observing from where they are, they can only see some things!

If they want to truly determine the identity of this Galleon ship and figure out what the cargo is on board, they 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. Is the cabin 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 Galleon 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 this shipwreck yet, I have a hunch! Perhaps we have already found the main goal of this trip to the Caribbean, the Malaga's Princess ship!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of excitement in the earphones.

"Awesome! Steven, I hope your hunch is correct. That shipwreck being the Malaga's Princess Treasure Ship. That would be perfect!"

"A shipwreck treasure from 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, we look forward to your good news, and we look forward to witnessing the dazzling gold and silver treasures with our own eyes!"

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 thrusters and quickly swam to the sunken ship not far ahead!

"Okay! Steven, let us discover the shipwreck treasure together! I love this treasure hunt, and I love the dazzling gold and silver treasures!"

Matisse smiled excitedly, and drove the submersible thruster to follow.
