discovery archaeologists dream about about 4,000 feet deep lies a wreck complete with cannons musket balls as well as large amounts of wine and gin to go along due to the depth the ship has for the most part been completed the wreck was discovered during an oil and gas survey looking for the next place to build an oil rig most of the wood was eroded but the copper frame was still intact as well as the kitchen what exactly was the ship's origins some claim it might have come from pirates from Texas around the time of the Texas Revolution or the mexican-american war the research will act as a time capsule from the past and give us a better understanding of the daily lives of whomever man this boat explorers doing work around the coast of Madagascar reportedly found treasure belonging to the infamous Captain Kidd but there was a little secret about this treasure that wasn't revealed right away William Kidd was a Scottish pirate from the 17th century and was hired by other European countries to attack and plunder British boats this practice was known as privateering and was extremely lucrative for those who were successful at it like Captain Kidd many people were skeptical of its authenticity since his treasure has been sought after and difficult to find turns out this block of silver was actually a giant lead bar and was a massive hoax that fooled everyone even the President of Madagascar was presented with his fake relic from the past in a ceremony Captain Kidd's real treasure is still out there so grab your shovels you might want to keep your kids home from school after hearing about this workers found a human skeleton buried near a primary school in Edinburgh during an excavation they were expecting to find remains from an ancient shipyard but possibly uncovered pirate bones instead they first thought the bones were from the Bronze Age due to an old pottery char discovered nearby after carbon dating it revealed the skeleton was actually only 500 years old and was a victim of either murder or hanging according to Edinburgh Council claims that a Gallo once stood near this Harbor and was a place where public executions were committed due to the unmarked grave things tend to add up to this skeleton being a pirate forensic artists worked on a facial recreation to bring a face to the bones as you can see in this photo could we be looking into the face of a pirate another great fine for archeology of course people know about Captain Morgan as the guy on the delicious bottles of rum but did you know he actually existed despite making ugly girls look pretty he was also the owner of many boats and an extremely successful privateer who looted many Spanish settlements in the Caribbean he died in 1680 a from cirrhosis of the liver most likely from in taking too much of his own supply one of his lost five ships were uncovered by an excavation team in 2010 and came up with six cannons but most of the remains of the boat were eroded the artifacts uncovered will help bring some life to this mythical character although didn't find any massive amounts of gold the Explorer crew considers the boat itself to be a priceless treasure the six cannons are currently on display in a museum in Panama pirates wrecked up so much havoc on the Seas they could actually make their enemies sink their own boats in August of 1680 a ship called the consolation sunk off the coast of Ecuador the galleon was encountered by a group of English pirates after it had picked up a large amount of gold from Lima Peru before the pirates could get their hands on some of the treasures they were seeking the Spanish set the ship on fire they'd rather have the boat at the bottom of the sea then hand it over a crew of explorers eventually salvaged the wreck in 1997 near the Santa Clara island of Ecuador large amounts of gold and silver coins were uncovered and are even on sale online Montego Bay located on the island of Jamaica is an infamous place
