Section 136 Ghost Ship (5th Shift)
This is how the sea lily fossil that Chen Rui found here was formed.
Chen Rui put the sea lily fossil into the pregnant sea pearl space.
Left the space of pregnant sea pearl.
Chen Rui searched the seabed nearby carefully, but found nothing.
After making sure that there was nothing missing, Chen Rui surfaced and found that he was already far away from the location of the speedboat.
Chen Rui swam over and got on the speedboat.
Chen Rui took a bath in the lake in the pregnant Haizhu space, changed into dry clothes, and walked out of the space.
I'm a little hungry.
Chen Rui took out the big lobster he had just caught from the pregnant Haizhu space.
The big lobster is very violent, and the big crow is fangs and claws.
Chen Rui took out the gas stove, pots and pans, salt, garlic, ginger, oyster sauce, cooking wine and other seasonings from the pregnant Haizhu space.
I made a steamed lobster with garlic using lobster as a material.
The lobster is adjusted to the bowl juice, marinated into the flavor, put it on the plate and put it in the steaming drawer, after steaming over high heat, the shell is red and the meat is white, full of domineering, and it is very delicious.
Eat Chen Rui's taste is wide open.
After the meal is full.
It was nearly dusk.
The sun is setting.
Chen Rui sat quietly on the bow of the boat, enjoying the dusk and sunset.
The afterglow of the setting sun slanted on the sea, sparkling.
Very spectacular, very poetic.
After a long time, the sunset had completely set, and it was already dark.
The moon rose, bright and bright, and the moonlight shone on the sea.
Chen Rui moved on the bow of the boat, took out a blanket from the space of the pregnant sea pearl, and slept on the board.
Fall asleep with the moonlight.
Midnight.
Not far away, there was a 'clap' clapping.
Chen Rui was awakened.
The sound came from about 200 meters to the southwest.
Chen Rui stood up and looked up.
Through the brightness of the moonlight, a huge black shadow could be seen appearing on the surface of the sea.
Judging by the silhouette of the dark shadow, it was a brig.
The big ship was slowly approaching in its own direction.
Chen Rui felt that this ship was very strange.
First of all, brigs were designed by the Dutch in the 17th century.
In North America, in the 18th century, it began to be widely used in situations that required speed and the ability to sail against the wind, such as slave trading and privateers, and was also commonly used in fishing boats and expedition ships.
In the 19th century, the brig reached its peak and was the most popular sailing ship for transporting cargo at the time.
By the 20th and 21st centuries, such brigs had long since been phased out in favor of steel freighters.
In modern times, the only way to see such a wooden brig is to go to the Sailing Museum.
Chen Rui saw a brig sailing ship on this sea at this time and felt very strange.
Secondly, Chen Rui found that the brig that was approaching him was walking very strangely, flickering left and right, and sometimes making the bow into the waves, how could the small spinnaker in the bow fall on the port side, and the strip sail behind it was on the starboard side, and the mainmast was completely empty and twisted.
The ship is getting closer.
Chen Rui found that the ship was unmanned, and the rudder would swing left and right.
When the ship is 5 or 60 meters away from Chen Rui.
Chen Rui saw a string of Portuguese characters on the side of the ship by the moonlight, Santa Maria, Formosa.
'Santa Maria. Formosa'.
The name of the ship was 'Santa Maria. Formosa'.
Chen Rui drove the speedboat to 'Santa Maria. Formosa'.
Chen Ruichen went on deck, and no one on the ship came out to ask.
As the bollards were broken, the sails swayed with the wind, striking the mast and the rungs again, clattering.
The sound of Chen Rui being awakened was this sound, the sound of the sail hitting the mast and the 'splitting' sound on the rung.
The ship is very dilapidated.
A mess of ropes was scattered across the deck, and some were thrown overboard.
The planks were covered with bird droppings, dust, broken wooden planks, iron chains, and nails.
There are also some plants growing on the deck, and the roots of the plants are rooted in the crevices of the deck.
The seeds of the plant are carried by the birds.
The bird eats the seeds, flies to the ship to rest, pulls down a lump of guano, and the seeds from the guano are left on the deck.
There is sunlight to provide light energy, there is rain to moisten, and guano is fertilizer.
The seeds germinated, and the plants began to grow.
The ship has not been stored for a long time.
There was silence and dreary all around.
Chen Rui could only hear his own rapid breathing and heartbeat.
The atmosphere was depressing.
This is an 'unknown drifting ship', that is, a mysterious 'ghost ship'.
A search on the Internet about the 'ghost ship' will reveal a lot of information about the 'ghost ship'.
The legendary 'ghost ship' wanders the sea, and there are ghosts wandering and sighing in the cabin.
It's so mysterious, how weird, but very few people have actually seen it and boarded the 'ghost ship'.
People are always curious.
Curious about where the ship's crew had gone, and why they all suddenly disappeared.
Chen Rui was also very curious about why 'Santa Maria. Formosa's crew all disappeared.
Chen Rui came to the seafarer's rest cabin, and then to the wheelhouse, the hatch was open and empty.
The pilot's gears have been turned off.
Chen Rui came to the captain's room and found a "Logbook".
To Chen Rui's surprise, as early as May 7, 1897, the ship left Lisbon, Portugal, to transport a shipload of goods to the United States.
The captain has many years of sailing experience.
Chen Rui looked through the "Logbook" and found that the end of each day's record reads: "Today's one qiē is normal".
At the end of the record on the last day, May 21 of that year, the captain wrote: "Since leaving the port, it has been smooth." ”
Chen Rui realized that this 'Santa Maria. Formosa's cargo ships have been adrift in the Atlantic for 118 years.
Chen Rui also found a bunch of keys in a drawer in the captain's room.
Chen Rui walked out of the captain's cabin and unlocked all the cabins with the key, and he saw layers of cobwebs in the ship's food storage compartment, storing a large amount of food that had long been rotted or dried.
He came to the cargo hold.
Stacked in the hold were hundreds of oak barrels.
Oak barrels store wines made in Portugal and shipped to the United States.
In the past, the concept was that 'wine is the fragrance of aging.' ’
A 120+ year old wine stored in oak barrels that seems to be the finest wine.
In fact, this is not the case.
If the wine is stored in oak barrels for a long time, there is a risk that the wine will spoil.
Moreover, this barrel is a century-old barrel, and the wood is about to be grooved, and the smell of rotten wood is mixed into the wine.
Hundreds of oak barrels full of aged wine may seem like a great fortune, but they are not worth much.
Chen Rui left the ghost ship and returned to the speedboat.
Chen Rui doesn't seem to be looking for 'Santa Maria. Formosa's entire crew suddenly disappeared.
Chen Rui has a 'Santa Maria. The logbook of the brig 'Formosa'.
Perhaps the answer can be found in the "Logbook". R1152
