When your team sends the divers down at the location you recommended, they find the remnants of a ship, but there is no treasure aboard. Based on the photographs the divers took, you and the team think the boat is not The Howler, but another pirate ship called The Serpent Princess. This ship was known to travel with The Howler, so the team suspects you have found the right general area to search . I After some additional reading, you think that The Serpent Princess and The Howler may have sank during the same storm. Based on the sizes of each boat, the two wrecks would need to be about 50 meters apart on the sea floor. Your captain maneuvers the search boat into place.
