I'm still here, don't write me off!
It has just been a busy start to the year and I haven't been blogging at all really, but I still exist. And I just finished an awesome book that I would recommend to any and all pirate buffs.
I posted back in 2024 a link to Amazon for this book,
and I started reading it at the beginning of the year. And boy am I glad I did, what a fun book to read. Well, maybe not all fun, I was pretty stressed out while reading it as I urged on these divers and shipwreck lovers in their quest to find the Golden Fleece. It isn't as easy as following an X marked on a map, it cost almost a fortune just to maintain equipment, and included trips to New York and Spain to visit libraries with maritime records dating back to the 1600's.
The Golden Fleece was a pirate ship captained by Joseph Bannister, a pirate I had never heard of until now, which went down in the shallows off the coast of the Dominican Republic in 1686.
Anyway, not to give any spoilers let me just end it with saying if you are looking for an enjoyable read about some treasure obsessed adventurers this is a good one.
