<i>Making my way about out to me ship.</i>

 

[morgan terror]

excellent! well, here's your treasure back then. i'll go after pieter's. are you in?

 

[Old Salt]

Of course. That is the ultimate goal.

 

[morgan terror]

well, we don't actually have to go anywhere now. we're at the island anyway.

 

[Old Salt]

Yep. But we have to keep a look out for others who are searching for the treasure.

 

[morgan terror]

since when has pieter been blabbing all round about his treasure anyway? it would have been a lot easier if it had been at least a little bit secret.

 

[Old Salt]

We are sure its on this island? Aren't we?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

No you're not. And you don't know where either. I think I might've even forgotten myself. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

I am CERTAINLY aware of that ship. That's the Amsterdam; my all-time favourite VOC ship. Kazeite and Doober even put her into our PotC game for me. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
I don't think she's Napoleonic though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="no.gif" />
When was the last time you were around then? The Amsterdam has been in Amsterdam for as long as I can remember.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I was around with Georg Stage back in..hmm..Sail Amsterdam..hmmm which means either ´84 or ´86. Does the Amsterdam sail anywhere, or is it just lying there? Any historic reference to a real ship? (yup, I could certainly google, but your story is probably better <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> )

Oh, and I like the colours, they are very natural - just imagine, they used real gold on the stern, once...

(Now I am just being stubbern, I know it has a latin sail - but the lines of the hull somehow tells me "napoleonic", because they are so..tight?)

 

[Pieter Boelen]

'85 most likely; Sail is held every five years.<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->A ship replica was built in Iroko wood by 400 volunteers using tools of the period, between 1985 and 1990.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->That explains it; the ship had not yet been built when you were there.

 

[Old Salt]

We'll have to search the island anyway, other pirates obviously feel the treasure is here.

 

[morgan terror]

i wonder if a forked stick would help to any extent.

 

[Old Salt]

It might. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

 

[morgan terror]

i doubt pieter's treasure is made of water. he isn't exactly a nomad. unless... the sea is his greatest treasure!

 

[Pieter Boelen]

No THERE's a possibility! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

 

[morgan terror]

you only just thought of it? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Of course not. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
