SKELETON ISLAND - Was a pirate secret location, known only to a small number of captains by that name. But as piracy became unfashionable with mass hangings, the numbers of those in the know, dwindled. Until, all that remained was a location carved in wood. Generally hidden somewhere safe by the pirate concerned. This location was useless without a chart giving the exact position that each pirate buried their stash. The maps made on parchment, were handed down to the next generations, by way of inheritance free of taxes.

It bothered John that he had been on Providence Island, seen the Golden Aztec Skull, and found other clues missing from the puzzle, but still did not understand the wooden carving he'd found with the remains of the famous privateer; Henry Morgan, although at least the wooden marker had helped to identify the Colombian Archipelago, from where Huntington had found the cave where Blackbeard had stashed his hoard.

Lord Huntington and Captain Tremaine still had much of the cave gold onboard the Hispaniola, since the mutineers had not had time or resources to shift it, but they did not have the golden Aztec Skull. They decided to leave re-acquisition of the priceless artifact to the Colombian Navy, since it was in their domain, along with Peru, and had bid John, Cleopatra and Dan farewell, as they headed out into the sparkling turquoise-blue Caribbean, back to England, to report on their adventures to their Geographical Society.

Not so content, John puzzled over the missing loot, attributed to Henry Morgan. Two pirates at different times, apparently at the same geographical location. Blackbeard, more or less accounted for.....

John deciphers code on wooden carving with help from Dan and Cybercore Genetica. Putting the Swann into stealth mode, so invisible to blockade, John dives to find the privateer's sunken treasure, thinking in cave, but actually discovers a whole ship, laden with gold, silver and gemstones; huge cargo. He videos ship in water, and holds recording as evidence and schedule of contents. But is very careful not to disturb or remove anything from the wreck. Conscious of the heritage value, and wanting to negotiate a legally binding agreement as to salvage and possible listing oft the shipwreck as a UNESCO heritage site.

HURRICANE IOTA NOVEMBER 2020 - Providencia (boat dock) and Santa Catalina were ravaged by extreme weather when heading into 2021.

The small Colombian island of Providencia was hit hard by the powerful Category-5 hurricane Iota, which caused severe damage to the majority of local’s homes and the already scant public infrastructure.

At that time, Colombia’s President, Ivan Duque, said it is the first Category 5 – the most serious of hurricanes – to hit the Andean nation in its history.

Providencia island had a population of 5,000 people and is part of the Archipelago of San Andres, Providencia and Santa Catalina located in the Caribbean Sea about 775km (481 miles) northwest of mainland Colombia. Geographically, it is closer to the central American country of Nicaragua.

The hurricane was first considered a Category 2 but just before passing Providencia it developed into a Category-5 tropical cyclone which NASA said can have wind speeds of up to 253km/h (157mph) and has the ability to cause catastrophic damage.

Neighbouring larger island San Andres also faced damage to its infrastructure, albeit less intense. Northern Colombian coastal cities, like Cartagena, have flooded and are battling high winds.

According to the United States Office of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2020 has had the highest hurricane activity in the Atlantic since official records began in 1851.
