So you mention common sense, the silver platters I believe would have been stored in the captains quarters, since they were a gift for his wife. Of course I might be wrong. I'm sure that would have been the Only three silver objects in his quarters, or in the sterncastle? Yeah the three platters and cannon, pistol, all floated along on just floatsom.few planks still held together with just a crap load of spikes and a 4' spike. Couldn't have been anything else.. wrong. I'll wait and see what they find. Of course it only matters to some of us that own shares. JMO
