Jim Lai both Niantic and Whydah had storied past - much like the Millennium Falcon. They're vessels that were involved in smuggling (goods and people) and/or piracy.

Quote: Dating to the third century AD, the large sunken ship was fully recovered ... The unique [interlocking] tiles were apparently valuable enough for sailors to smuggle them from North Africa to Rome, where they sold for higher prices.
Another thing about shipwrecks - It gives me this image of ancient astronauts stranded on Earth and converted their ships into monolithic bases.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. We will have to meditate on Shipwrecks.
