The Port of Miami, formally known as Dante B. Fassel Port, is a major port located in Biscayne Bay at the mouth of the Miami River in Miami, Florida. It is the largest passenger port in the world and one of the largest cargo ports in the United States.
From there, a modern all-mechanized ship carried about 200 passengers, 80–85 men, 90 women, and the rest of the young children, started journey to the port of New York and New Jersey. Apart from these there were about 100 crew member and sailors with them .
The distance from Miami to New York City was approximately 1700 km, or about 825 nautical miles. The average speed of this modern cruise ship is about 20 knots per hour, reaching a maximum speed of about 30 knots. The ship is capable of fast sailing, but its speed also depends on many factors, including its engine power, weather, and sea conditions.
All the resources for the convenience of the passengers were available on this modern cruise ship: a mini bar, restaurant, saloon, spa room, mini theatre, swimming pool, library and dance room, besides there was a lot of open space on the deck.
The journey was expected to end in approximately 2 days and 3 nights. From the very beginning of the voyage, the atmosphere inside the ship was very pleasant. All the passengers were engaged in their favorite activities.
At 11 o'clock on the next day of the voyage, the captain of the ship announced to the ship that this voyage was being stopped for 8 hours. You guys have fun.
Actually, a team of divers came with this group, which included five people. All of these divers had joined the journey under a special operation. they had all the latest equipment, including a wetsuit, weight belt, weights, safety lanyard, socks, gloves, a water gun, and a walkie-talkie for deep diving.
Only the captain and co-captain of the ship had prior knowledge of this covert operation, but none of the sailors or passengers were aware of it. Therefore, to avoid the sight of sailors and passengers, two divers dive under the sea before the rear cover of the ship.
Both the divers swam at their full speed and reached the bottom of the sea with the help of their compass. After searching for some time, they found what they were looking for. Both divers entered the old ship sunk here, with many parts of it damaged away by salt water. The ship was old and had been underwater for a long time. All its parts were dilapidated.
Entering in it there was a possibility of an accident any time. Seeing these divers there, small sea animals and fish moved here and there. Parts of the ship were overgrown with moss and marine vegetation.
One diver told another on a walkie-talkie that it was very dark here and they had not found the thing they were looking for yet. Actually the head of this team had learned from reliable sources that 60 years ago, this sunken ship was carrying a gold statue of a merchant weighing 400 kg. This statue is studded with diamonds and its current value is $30,000,000. One gets half or three-fourths of its value if it is sold stealthily.
The ship was sunk for almost 60 years, and many teams tried to find it in the past, but people could not reach it. The head of this team had researched this ship for about 3 years. It was only then that the actual condition of this ship was known. This team is called the specialist treasure haunting team.
Both divers tried their best, but finding a special item on such a large ship was a very time-consuming task. Both of them ran out of oxygen, so they started coming back. On the way, they found a small shark. It chased one of them, but luckily they survived and went back to their companions.
These two divers told their other companions that they had reached the sunken ship, but they could not find the statue because the condition of the sunken ship was very dilapidated. It would require some large tools and an extensive expedition we will come again.
All the divers prepared the details of the map, depth, etc. of that place and discussed it among themselves for the next expedition.In the end, it was decided to stop the search and the next time the search would be completed by coming again from their own small ship and with other required equipment.
All of them came and informed the captain of the ship that their search was not successful, so now it would not be right to stop the rest of the passengers, and you can proceed with the journey.
Hearing this, the captain heaved a sigh of relief and ordered his sailors to move away from the ship's anchors.
As soon as the journey started again, a wave of happiness ran across the faces of all the passengers. because some educated passengers were feeling that maybe there was some mechanical problem in the ship, therefore the ship was not moving from there .
All the passengers started their full enjoyment as before, and the ship started moving towards its destination.
