Download Royal Merchant1/15/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() A contemporary pamphlet said the ship went down with ‘300000 in ready boliogne’ (bullion) and ‘100,000 pound in gold and as much value in jewels’. Sources have put the value of the sunken treasure as high as £20 billion and as low as £250 million. However, there’s no definitive account of her cargo at the time. The Spanish loot alone included silver bars, gold bullion and Spanish dollars. At the end of the season, John B and Sarah head to the Bahamas to take back the treasure.Whilst it is often called the “British gold ship” or “Land’s End gold ship”, the Royal Merchant’s cargo contained much besides. Ward then takes the gold for his own intentions and flys away to the Bahamas with it. However, after they try to pawn off the gold, it is revealed that Ward Cameron was trying to look for the gold too. He and his gang soon end up finding the gold at an old lady's house. After working with Sarah Cameron, he finds out about Denmark Tanney and the gold by translating an ancient letter he found at Chapel Hill. ![]() It is soon figured out that the compass was Big John's. John B dives under and inside the boat is a compass. John B and his crew manage to find a boat wreck after they meet with a person working inside a lighthouse. While the sheriffs pawned it off as a death, John B and his crew still believe that he is out there. Unfortunately, he never came back and he disappeared. In the present day about a year ago, Big John, John B's father, was set out trying to look for the gold. After a few hundred years, no one knew where the gold was/where it was hidden. He was the only one that survived the shipwreck, therefore he had the entire treasure to himself. A former slave known as Denmark Tanney was the ship's cook. What makes the mystery of the Merchant so interesting is that of its treasures. The Royal Merchant is said to have been one of the most famous shipwrecks that happened in the 1800s. ![]()
