I doubt you'll remember anything of the Ocean Pioneer, though a bit of the story that came to public knowledge made headlines in the newspapers at the time.
Blimey, now that I think of it, it's been over 40 years ago it happened.
40 years.
And at times yet I can still wake up in the middle of the night and see that cold dead eye of Jimmy Goggles staring at me from the darkness.
They had to give me the creeps even now.
It all started the night the Ocean Pioneer went to the bottom of the Sonar Coast.
Only two survivors aside from myself came out of that wreck.
Mr. Sanders, the first mate, and a seaman named Jacob.
And with a bit of luck we had enough food and water in the longboat to see us safe to Papua.
Give a way, lads.
Three times for you to put us on dry land again.
Aye, it is lucky men we are this time.
Aye, just once our time here, Jacob.
And it weren't for Captain Wells and ten of the lads back there.
Why, another 20 fathom of quick and clean water they are.
Ain't all that laying back there either, lads.
You meaning something like that, Mr. Sanders? Does either of you lads know the cargo we carried? Aye.
A couple of them mostly, and some spices.
Not that.
Lads, at Guinea we shipped aboard a chest full of gold dust.
Worth 40,000 pounds.
40,000 pounds.
I wondered about that chest at Batar, Mr. Sanders.
That chest is still bucking her, lads.
In Captain Wells' cabin.
