Oh man, I love this. One of my favorite things is mysterious events in history! I have to wonder, is there any way that they could have evacuated the crew before too many people gathered... or was there EVER a crew?

Also, the "piracy with a license" made me picture Uncle Sam wearing stereotypical pirate garb and rubbing his hands together with glee. I will treasure this mental image.

Thanks for posting this! I love learning some new stuff and I'm surprised I never came across this before in my wiki and spooky mystery thread surfing!

But, I actually came to your page originally to leave you a comment I've wanted to leave you for a long time but I was a little too shy to do it:

You were my first whale vote when I first started on here and I've never forgotten your name. I wanted to thank you for your generous vote. I am not lying when I say that your one vote was enough to make me feel like maybe I should stay on here. Maybe being recognized isn't so unattainable. Maybe if I kept it up and kept working, that someday I will be somewhere on here.

I've had many ups and downs, and I don't make a ton on my own page, but through cause and effect, you helped in a large portion to shape my life by simply upvoting one post of mine. And I wanted to stop by and let you know, because if one of my votes effected someone as much as yours effected me, I would want to know.

Staying on this platform opened so many doors for me. I've read so many interesting stories, I've learned so much about crypto and computers, and how to cater to a niche. Staying here has given me a large set of skills.
It also gave me the love of my life, @sammosk, and I moved to Australia to be with him.

So in a way, through butterfly effect, I have you to thank for most of this!

Cheers, @donkeypong! I hope your votes, thoughtful comments, and presence on the chain can go on to impact many more people in the amazing way you impacted on me!

(Also, keep posting amazing content! <3)
