The Mystery of the Sunken Ship

Marty and his team meet at a pub to discuss findings from blacksmith Carmen Legge, who analyzed a ship's timber brace. The timber is believed to be from a ship dating back to 1710-1719, showing signs of burning. The team speculates about the ship's history, including theories of it being deliberately sunk in a swamp to hide treasure. They discuss the need for further exploration to uncover more evidence and potentially solve a long-standing mystery.
