Lot 47: The Fifth Man Lucky

Jacob Watson is trapped. He feels suffocated by his mundane job at the antiques warehouse. This isn't where he imagined himself at Twenty-Eight, but an unexpected discovery changes everything. More by luck than judgment, he stumbles across a mysterious 18th-century diary, and curiosity leads to recklessness. He steals the diary, and his world becomes entwined with a long-dead sailor - James Roberts, prisoner of the notorious pirate Captain Blackbeard. The diary reveals a gritty firsthand account of life aboard the infamous Queen Anne's Revenge. But there is one secret which intrigues him the most - the lost treasure of the Santo-Mar, a gold-laden Spanish Galleon sunk in the early 1700'sThe treasure is said to be a maritime fable - an old wives' tale thought to be nothing more than myth, but the diary suggests otherwise, and Jacob wants answers.
