Like a ghost ship with full crew and suspiciously lots more cargo, precious spices and treasures and things like that.

So that caused even more of a legal mess.

Who owns it now?

They were absolutely grand.

They were absolutely fine.

So what happened then was a group of merchants got together, the same group of merchants that kind of settled the insurance claims and all that.

They got together and said, OK, look, what are we going to do here?

And they managed to sort out the legal mess.

And that group of merchants, actually, it's a nice little tidbit.

It was Arthur Guinness and JJ Jemison who were on that arbitration body initially.

which is amazing to think.

Businessmen, yeah.

And they, actually that was a precursor to the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, which is very interesting.

But yeah, so the rumour was, I guess the conspiracy theory was that the Irish crew actually intended on going off course intentionally and commit piracy on the high seas.

They say that they were hijacked by Barbary pirates.

So they were Algerian pirates.

They said that they were held hostage, forced to commit acts of piracy on the high seas.

And then these pirates just let them go.

Yes, correct.

Well, we don't know.
