In October, 1878 at Little Pass in the Arizona Territory Bat is in a high stakes game. His opponent has lost everything but an old large pocket watch. The man Colonel Anders Dorn believes that Bat has cheated him with Bat taking umbrage at the accusation. He offers to draw high card with Dorn for the watch and apology against his winnings. He lets Dorn not only deal but cut both cards to prove he is honest. Bat wins and grudgingly obtains his apology.

The gamengame server looks like it'll be supported, updated and kept for a while.HOWEVER, gamengame look like another one of those companies that will release a game, get tons of cash and then leave it behind.Personally I'm going to wait a bit and see if gamengame actually try to update Darkeden, I've had enough of supporting devs who use Darkeden as a cash grab.The official game is the best and most reliable atm though:).
After the game Dorn's niece Elsa Dorn asks him if he will sell back the watch. She eventually tells Bat it has the location of a treasure ship lost in the desert in a sand storm. While talking with her, Dorn returns with his two companions who knock out Bat wanting to kill him but Dorn forces them to take him to a doctor. Bat trails them into the desert finding Elsa during a sand storm alone saying her uncle was wounded but the two men. Bat and Elsa stumble onto the lost ship uncovered by the storm. Inside they find the treasure but the.
The 'Lost Galleon'The earliest tales of a lost Spanish galleon appeared shortly after the flood of 1862. Colonel Albert S. Evans reported seeing such a ship in 1863. In the Los Angeles Daily News of August 1870, the ship was described as a half-buried hulk in a drying alkali marsh or saline lake, west of Dos Palmas, California, and 40 miles north of.
It could easily be viewed at a distance of several miles from a mesa that lay between Dos Palmas and Palma Seca, California. The stories have given Palma Seca other names:, and Bitter Springs, as the area was not well mapped in 1870. Expeditions were sent out in search of her, but the ship had apparently vanished into the sand and mud once again. The Galleon, according to legend, is now under the waters of the modern.There are those who claim the ship is 's Content, filled with pirate plunder; others claim that she is the Iqueue, a ship of.Pearl ship of Juan de IturbeThis legend may refer to the same ship as the Lost Galleon, but its own story has always placed it in a distinct location, closer to the sand hills west of. Descriptions suggest it is closer to the size of one of ' small. The pearl ship is rumored to have been seen as recently as the 1970s.The story goes that in 1615, Spanish explorer Juan de Iturbe embarked on a pearl-harvesting expedition, during which his crew sailed a shallow-drafted caravel up the Gulf of California.
A high carried him across a strait into, a postulated contemporaneous saltwater basin periodically connected to the gulf which was already in the process of drying up permanently. After exploring the lake for several days, Iturbe found himself unable to sail out again, whereupon he beached his craft and made his way back to the nearest Spanish settlement on foot, leaving behind a fortune in black pearls.
Sixteenth-century records from indicate that the De La Cadena family had a pearl-diving monopoly in.Iturbe's alleged ship has been seen and lost several times, and there are several stories about it having been looted. A mule driver traveling with the through was said to have removed the pearls in 1774.
In 1907, a farmhand named Elmer Carver noticed odd-shaped fence posts while working on Niles Jacobsen's farm in. Jacobsen claimed a wind storm had revealed the remains of a ship, which the Jacobens had repurposed into a fence. Jacobsen had also found gems which he sold in Los Angeles.
The Viking ship, or the 'Serpent-Necked Canoe'The Viking stories originated around 1900 from the Mexicans and Indians who live in the Colorado River delta region near the basin. The ship is consistently described as an open boat with round metal shields on its sides in the badlands west of.Around 1933, Myrtle Botts, a librarian from, had an encounter with an old prospector who reported seeing a ship lodged in the rock of Canebrake Canyon. He described the vessel as a Viking ship made of wood with a serpentine figure carved in its prow. He gave her and her husband directions to the location but an earthquake prevented the Botts from following the prospector's trail to the ship. Julian's Pioneer Museum, which inherited Myrtle Botts' papers, also inherited those directions.The Julian Pioneer Museum is not in possession of any records regarding the Viking ship mentioned in this story. According to The Last of Seris (Dane Coolidge, 1939), the indigenous people of reportedly encountered whalers visiting from far away, possibly a reference to Norsemen visiting the west coast of Mexico prior to the Spanish.
The ferry boat or river schoonerThis story grew out of an effort to explain or debunk the Lost Galleon story. It is thought that an abandoned ferry or steamboat that had broken away during a Colorado River flood and had been left dry in the vast sands of the river delta is the origin of the rumors. Others claim that it was a schooner that gold-seekers wishing to search the more inaccessible portions of the Colorado River had built in Los Angeles and hauled through the desert by a mule or oxen team until the animals perished, leaving the boat mired in soft sand.The ferry boat story changed over time more often than the Lost Galleon story. One incarnation said that a small ferry (a two-man sweep) was built away from the river in a place a hundred feet or so above sea level, where a source of wood was found, and that a team of six (or more) oxen perished hauling it through the sand near Los Algodones. Evaluation of the legends. From a smattering of first-, second- and third-hand accounts, a variety of fictional (especially graphic and cinematic) variations of the Lost Ship stories have been created. Not surprisingly, the first-hand accounts are extremely rare.
Many of the above references fit the and molds, where the story passes from ear to ear with all evidence disappearing along the way.Searching for and finding the remains of a Lost Ship is now rather problematic. The greater part of the has been submerged under the since 1905, and much of the adjacent land is under military control and has even been used for bombing ranges, rendering on-the-ground searches highly hazardous and/or illegal.Lands adjacent to in, and between the and the Salton Sea, regularly receive wind-blown sand from the desiccated delta of the much-diverted, generating vast sand dune systems. Aerial searches using ground-penetrating radar might reveal ships' remains, but there has not yet been an agency that undertook this project and revealed its findings. Whether or not any such ships actually existed, the legends persist and remain entertaining to many.Around AD 1500, the lake was 26 times the present size of the Salton Sea. It has flooded and dried eight times between 1824 and 1905. In 1540 Spanish explorer Diaz was in the area, and by 1700 to 1750 the lake had infilled.
Presently there is a 'high ground' in Northern Mexico, of 23 feet, or 6+m. Thus a ship of 8 foot draft would need to have an additional 30 feet of water, above 'sea level'.
While 'king tides' of summer and winter are the highest, and conceivably a storm surge could add further water building up, wind-blown up the Sea of Cortez, 30 feet of additional depth seems highly unlikely.Media renditions of Lost Ship stories.
