What started out to be a $45 - 15 minute tourist activity has turned out to be one of the Caribbean's largest "treasure" find in history!! Nancy White, vacationing on Roatan from north west Idaho, spied what she thought was a "dead whale carcass" from more than 100 feet in the air during a parasailing trip this week. "Turns out, what she saw was a sunken Pirate ship containing more than 4 Million dollars in Spanish Dubloons", Marco Gonzales, director of Antiquities of Central America confirmed.
"We're happy to find this (still to be identified) ship in such pristine condition", Gonzales adds. We're told that due to the position of the ship, it was only detectable in the right sunlight and at the right altitude. According to local laws, finders keepers says Ms. White and she is off on a private jet this evening to "locations unknown" to count her fortune. White, a school-teacher back home, is delighted with her find. "I'm not sure what to say.... but one thing is for sure", adds White, "this sure is one April Fools day I won't forget". (That's the ticket, ya!)
