This was the earlier posting that resulted in some feedback, in which I was told I had jolly (roger) well better post this as a separate topic.
Is this Captain Henry Morgan's ship hull? -- August 3, 2011 -- Archaeologists from Texas State University believe they have uncovered a ship found near the site where Welsh Admiral Sir Henry Morgan's ships wrecked in 1671. The infamous privateer -- widely known as Captain Morgan -- was on his way to Panama City with his men. The researchers say they might have found a section of the hull as well as cargo boxes and coral-covered chests. Trystan Young reports.

Is this Captain Henry Morgans ship hull?

Thank you for the post and ping, sweet man. And honestly, I really wasn’t threatening you. You understand, right?

About how long is the follow-up on something like this? How long does it usually take to open chests like this, and what is the probability of seeing the contents?

I love this stuff.
