The year is 1700 and the golden age of piracy is in full swing! Just five years ago, on 7th September 1695, Captain Avery led several pirate vessels to ambush a treasure-laden trading ship. The attack succeeded, with around £600,000 worth of jewels and golden coins stolen. Despite a large bounty on his head, Avery has managed to evade the authorities and hasn't been seen or heard of since. No-one knows what happened to his ill-gotten gains but spending such a large fortune would surely not have gone unnoticed, so you wager that most of the treasure remains hidden... and ripe for the taking! As luck would have it, a member of Avery's crew was recently captured with several mysterious crates in their possession. A few gold coins to the local officials, and you've been permitted an hour alone to examine them. Could they contain clues to where Avery's vast fortune is hidden?
