Hey! I sunk that ship in Pirates! The Governors daughter was a babe.

It’s mine!

Sorry guys, I was rowing over there a few hundred years ago and it sank.

Thanks for dredging it all up and stuff though.

Just gimme the money and we’ll call it even steven.

might be a little nit=picky but I seriously doubt that the ambassador was carrying thousands of place seettings for his residence on the island.

At the time, the entire population of Spaniards that an aristocrat would invite to dinner would probably be less than 100

The quality is stunning. Much of the find looks new.

Punta Cana today has some great high end resorts.
