Emil....is finally done! This is definitely my biggest digital piece to date--not even the Sons of Durin funeral took as long, nor did it put me through this much mental agony. So much coral, man 💀

Anyway.

Here are two versions: One with light beams and one without. The crown Emil's holding is the crown of King George I, who was king during part of the time that Emil was piratin' it up.

How she got the crown, I don't know. This is Emil we're talking about, after all.

Also, I'm not sure why, but this is a lot brighter and more saturated on my ipad than it is on my computer screen, but oh well.

Pictures of The San Jose Galleon Carrying Billions in Lost Treasure

The Royal Navy sank the galleon in 1708 during the War of the Spanish Succession, but its resting place had been a mystery for more than three centuries. Today its contents could be worth billions.

The Colombian army has released a video showing gold coins and other valuable items around the shipwreck of the San Jose galleon, believed to be the resting place of billions of dollars in treasure.

Royal Navy vessels sank the Spanish flagship in 1708 during the War of the Spanish Succession, but its resting place - near the port of Cartagena on Colombia's coast with the Caribbean - had been a mystery for more than three centuries before the Colombian navy formally announced its discovery in 2015.

Experts speculate that the ship was loaded with at least 200 tons of treasure, including millions of high-purity gold doubloon coins, as well as many silver coins and emeralds that the Spanish empire had plundered from South America, worth up to $17bn (£13.5bn) today.

The video reveals an enormous bounty aboard the vessel even beyond the gold coins and ingots, including ancient cannons as well as intact Chinese porcelain, pottery and cannons.

Colombian government and military archaeologists are studying the inscriptions on this material to determine where it originated from.

President Ivan Duque praised his country's navy for capturing "images with a level of precision that's never been seen before" and has asserted that the wreck and its contents would remain in Colombia rather than be sold as part of the salvage operation.

The salvage rights have been subject to decades of litigation and are contested by a professional salvage company that claims to have first uncovered the wreck in 1981, as well as Colombia, Spain and the Qhara Qhara nation of indigenous Bolivians who claim the Spanish extracted the wealth from its people.

The images shared by the Colombian army were captured with a remotely operated submersible vehicle that dived to a depth of almost a kilometre. Its specific location is considered a state secret.

US-based salvage company Sea Search Armada - owned by investors including the late John Ehrlichman, the White House adviser under President Nixon convicted for his role in the Watergate scandal - claimed to have first found the wreckage in the early 1980s.

It isn't clear whether the location the company identified is the same as that uncovered by the Colombian navy.

Several legal battles over how much the company would be due if it carried out the salvage operations have now been completed, leaving Sea Search Armada with no further legal recourse.

The Colombian navy's submersible vehicle also found two nearby shipwrecks, one of a colonial boat and another of a schooner which is thought to date back to Colombia's war for independence from Spain in 1819.

"We now have two other discoveries in the same area, that show other options for archaeological exploration. So the work is just beginning," said navy commander Admiral Gabriel Perez, according to Reuters.

"The idea is to recover it and to have sustainable financing mechanisms for future extractions," added President Duque. "In this way we protect the treasure, the patrimony of the San Jose galleon."

On July 10th 1633 the sailing ship Blessing of Burntisland,  carrying gold, jewellery and silver plate belonging to King Charles I, sank in the Firth of Forth.

The Blessing was a ferry that operated between Burntisland and Leith. It sank during a storm in 1633 in the Firth of Forth while carrying Charles I’s possessions during his coronation tour of Scotland. It is said to contain a legendary 280- piece silver dining service as well as other royal possessions, which today would be worth millions of pounds. Contemporaneous reports record that Charles I was furious at its loss and rounded up and jailed 19 witches in Lancashire, accusing them of inciting the squall that swamped the vessel. More likely the ship sunk because it was overloaded with his treasure, and courtiers. Many of whom drowned when the Blessing went down.

Despite various recent attempts to locate the vessel using dowsers and sonar technology, no ship has ever been found. However, the evidence for her existence in the water is compelling enough for there to be a Protection of Wrecks order placed on the site to deter bounty hunters, if it is ever found.

Ancient Roman Treasure Found

Amateur diver discovers treasure in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Sunken Temples of Aphrodite and Amun Found off Egyptian Coast

New discoveries off Egyptian coast reveal ‘treasures and secrets

New “treasures and secrets” have been revealed at the site of a sunken temple off Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, the European Institute for Underwater Archaeology (IEASM) announced in a news release Tuesday.

An underwater archaeological team, led by French marine archaeologist Franck Goddio, has made further discoveries at the site of a temple to god Amun in the ancient port city of Thonis-Heracleion in the Bay of Aboukir, the institute said.

The team investigated the city’s south canal, where huge blocks of stone from the ancient temple collapsed “during a cataclysmic event dated to the mid-second century BC,” the institute said.

The temple to god Amun was where pharaohs came “to receive the titles of their power as universal kings from the supreme god of the ancient Egyptian pantheon,” it said.

“Precious objects belonging to the temple treasury have been unearthed, such as silver ritual instruments, gold jewelry and fragile alabaster containers for perfumes or unguents,” IEASM said. “They bear witness to the wealth of this sanctuary and the piety of the former inhabitants of the port city.”

The archaeological excavations, conducted jointly by Goddio’s team and the Department of Underwater Archaeology of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of Egypt, revealed underground structures “supported by very well-preserved wooden posts and beams dating from the 5th century BC,” the institute said.

“It is extremely moving to discover such delicate objects, which survived intact despite the violence and magnitude of the cataclysm,” said Goddio, who is president of IEASM and director of excavations.

The discoveries were made possible thanks to the development and use of new geophysical prospecting technologies that can detect cavities and objects “buried under layers of clay several meters thick,” the institute said.

Relics from Greek presence, too

East of the Amun temple, a Greek sanctuary devoted to Aphrodite was discovered containing bronze and ceramic objects.

“This illustrates that Greeks who were allowed to trade and settle in the city during the time of the Pharaohs of the Saïte dynasty (664 - 525 BC) had their sanctuaries to their own gods,” the institute said.

The discoveries of Greek weapons also reveal the presence of Greek mercenaries in the area, IEASM said. “They were defending the access to the Kingdom at the mouth of the Canopic Branch of the Nile. This branch was the largest and the best navigable one in antiquity.”

The remains of Thonis-Heracleion are now located under the sea, 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) from the present coast of Egypt, IEASM said. The city was for centuries Egypt’s largest port on the Mediterranean before the founding of Alexandria by Alexander the Great in 331 BC.

“Rising sea levels and earthquakes followed by tidal waves triggering land liquefaction events, caused a 110 square kilometer portion of the Nile delta to totally disappear under the sea, taking with it the city of Thonis-Heracleion,” the institute said.

The city was discovered by the IEASM in 2000.

The Search Is On. Treasure Hunting in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island.

The Search for the HMS Gaspee, begins again. Get the deets after the jump!

In 1772 the English schooner HMS Gaspee was sunk by disgruntled colonists in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island. Some consider this rebellion a primary factor leading to the War of US Independence. The sinking predates the Boston Tea Party by a year and shows the continued dissatisfaction of colonists. A party of colonists boarded the Gaspee under cover of night and killed the captain, Lt.
