The cabin door was shattered, and all the windows were broken.
Upon entering, Luo Feng turned on his headlamp, illuminating the inside.
The floor was littered with a variety of scattered objects.
Pocket watches, shoes, dolls, cups, knives, and forks, as well as dining utensils.
After making a round, Luo Feng determined that the place he had entered must have been the ship’s dining hall.
It seemed that the ship must have been splendid in its day; otherwise, there would not have been such a luxurious dining room.
Quickly, Luo Feng passed through door after door, continuing forward.
After seeing the dining room, Luo Feng even came across a dance floor and sound equipment.
Clearly, these must have been entertainment facilities.
Humans, after all, need places to eat and play, and they construct them accordingly.
It was the same on trains and ships.
Of course, airplanes generally don’t have dining areas, as they must take to the sky and cannot be constructed too large. It’s just not feasible.
However, in the case of private planes, one can indeed have a dining room and even a small dance floor.
Besides the facilities, Luo also saw many corpses.
From these bodies, he found wallets and coins.
Inside the wallets were bills that were almost reduced to mush. If they hadn’t been inside the wallet, they might have floated away long ago.
The coins, however, were still in good condition.
Picking up a bill, Luo Feng found it too decayed to recognize from which place the currency came.
But he could see the coins clearly. On one coin, there was the profile of a young woman, and on the back, a crown. In the middle of the coin was a line of letters that read “ONESHILLING.”
Below it was the number 1887.
“This is a British shilling, worth one shilling!” Luo Feng exclaimed.
He put the coin back, picked up the wallet, and continued to search among the other bodies.
Some of the other corpses had wallets, some did not.
After searching about a dozen or so bodies, Luo Feng found four wallets. Most of these contained British shillings, with dates ranging from 1942 to 1993.
This indicated that the ship must have sunk around the 1990s.
Logically, even if information was not as accessible then, the sinking of such a ship should have been reported worldwide.
But why had Luo Feng never heard of this ship? Not to mention Luo Feng, but others wouldn’t know either, because if they did, they surely wouldn’t have ignored this sunken ship.
After searching for a while without any other findings, Luo Feng left that level.
As he emerged, his earpiece rang with Great Beauty Lin’s melodious voice, slightly concerned, “Old Luo, are you alright? Did you find anything inside?”
“I found something alright, but it’s not much. This is a dining floor and entertainment facilities. It doesn’t look like a merchant ship for carrying cargo!” Luo Feng replied.
This fact was undoubtedly noteworthy to Luo Feng, as a normal merchant ship would primarily have rooms for storing cargo, not so many entertainment facilities.
This ship resembled a luxury liner like the Titanic.
Unfortunately, these wallets contained no identification, but that was to be expected. In that era, many countries didn’t even have identity cards.
Luo Feng said, “Yueting, you all continue to wait. I’m going to the next level!”
After speaking, Luo Feng swam towards the second level, which was much like the third, full of entertainment places and dining rooms.
He then made his way to the ship’s first level.
Upon entering, he found it incredibly spacious, like a hotel lobby, very expansive.
The lobby was semicircular, and Luo Feng went through the side doors.
Although the visibility of the light wasn’t very high in the deep sea, he could see that the floor was covered with corpses, far more than above.
Luo Feng swam a few meters and came across an oval, long table.
He didn’t pay much attention at first, but as he swam along, he became puzzled. Why were there so many tables here, and why were they so long? It certainly couldn’t be a dining area, could it?
At that moment, Luo Feng’s eyes were drawn to scattered coins, British shillings, and Spanish silver dollars, along with scattered jewelry, pocket watches, and irregularly shaped gold pieces.
The gold, with evident cutting marks, ranged from fingernail-sized to as thick as a finger.
Searching around, Luo Feng found a square object among the coins, something that seemed out of place.
Luo Feng chuckled, realizing that many people would be familiar with this itarn Tt
Many people might have their eyes light up at the sight of this.
Now, looking again at the long tables, Luo Feng began to understand. The light shone over them.
Indeed.
There was a soft drawing on the tables, and although Luo Feng didn’t recognize what was depicted or what type of gambling was played, he could see that the patterns were definitely related to betting.
Luo Feng surmised that this must have been a gambling ship!
