Título: The treasure hunters
Autor: Warren Dean
Sinopse: Spanish conquistadors had heard tales of it when exploring the New World. Native South American tribes told of it in their legends; cautioning about the ancient perils which anyone finding it would unleash. During World War 2, Nazi-inspired archaeologists were convinced that they had pinpointed its location. And yet the treasure had never been discovered; not by anyone who had lived to tell the tale. It was as if someone, or something, was protecting it... Growing up in his native Ireland, Patrick had always been captivated by mysterious tales, legendary riches and sea adventures; El Dorado, Atlantis, the Bermuda Triangle, the Fountain of Youth. And ever since he had found an obscure clue to the whereabouts of a treasure said to be of the utmost value, he had been obsessed with finding it. Reported to be aboard a Spanish galleon which disappeared off the Spanish Main in 1603, he and Molly had spent the last seven years searching the waters of the Caribbean for the shipwreck. They had found no trace of it. They decided to follow one last lead. Found perched on a tiny Atlantic island off the coast of Brazil was a sixteenth century cannon. Deposited there by a tsunami, experts all agreed that it must have come from a Portuguese wreck in the area. But there was nothing to identify the cannon's country of origin, and no-one had bothered to look for its source. Could it be from an undiscovered Spanish wreck in the vicinity?
