Pirate Hunters: Treasure, Obsession, And The Search For A Legendary Pirate Ship - Plot & Excerpts
In a tone and volume Mattera didn’t appreciate, Chatterton accused him of losing focus on the only thing that mattered, the pirate wreck. But when Mattera asked for a better idea about how to make use of their time, Chatterton couldn’t answer. That afternoon, Mattera received a phone call from Kretschmer. A salvage boat belonging to Burt Webber, one of treasure hunting’s biggest names, was maneuvering off Cayo Levantado. It wasn’t clear what the vessel was doing there, but to Kretschmer it looked suspicious. Mattera collected Chatterton and Ehrenberg, and full-throttled it out to the island. They found Webber’s crew anchored over the same site that the archaeologist had provided to Cultura—the site they had just ruled out. It enraged both Chatterton and Mattera, but things got worse. As they drew closer, they could see divers in the water. “Let’s fucking ram their boat,” Chatterton said. Mattera wasn’t sure if he was kidding. Either way, it was clear to him that Webber’s men had arrived to claim that they’d found the Golden Fleece, or at least were close.
