Only the Spanish could manage to sink themselves with a flaming cocktail.

I wonder if our friend Darren has heard of this one?

I imagine the Venezuelan government could be VERY unpleasant to deal with.

Interesting way to catch a ship on fire. No, Jolly, I don't recall this one, though there are two decent ones nearby. It just goes to show that the research is never ending. Being a fisherman in Venezuela would make this a fun side job.

I would expect no shortage of excitement in that neighborhood.

If Still there, This alone should interest a Diver Who Can get Permission.






Those Safes Must have been Gigantic

I didn't do the Math, But I'd guess that alone would make the search Worthwhile Today.
