Opis

Just the mention of Sunken Treasure brings to mind ageless images of old wooden sea chests overflowing with thousands of golden doubloons and silver coins. Handfuls of tangled golden chains containing exquisite jewels are among the priceless artifacts that are woven throughout the decaying chests as well as our vivid imaginations. Sunken Treasure creates romantic visions of Spanish Galleons gracefully navigating the ancient high seas. Th eir opaque canvas sails billowing in a gentle Gulf Stream breeze. One can feel not only the warm touch of the wind, but a slight spray of the sea as the adventurous ships make way. However, Sunken Treasure also stimulates a frightening sense of terror as scores of ships wreck upon treacherous hidden reefs, vast amounts of treasure are lost forever and bloodthirsty pirates lurk on the distant horizon.
