RE: 2020 Australia $1: The 1712 Zuytdorp Shipwreck

I feel more impressed by these coins the deeper I ready about the tragic events behind these ships. The courage to partake in dangerous journey to the unknown to find riches and rewards, risking death and desperation.

Thanks for the support @silvertop

Not many today will take the the risk that these men did …….😲
 They lived in dangerous times !😳

Pirates, The English, the Spanish, or French, with 38 Cannons this ship had pretty good fire power for early 18th century. I guess they didn't count on an entire continent crashing into them.

38 cannons that’s a tremendous amount of fire power, not many would want to be on the receiving end of this pirate ship !😳😬
