This cache is not located at the posted coordinates. The tale of the pirates' hidden treasure thus unfolds:
Sir James Hawkins, a well-respected member of London society, is summoned to an audience with the Queen. After he enters the Throne Room, Hawkins bows before her.
Hawkins: Your Majesty. I am here at your request.
Queen: Well met, Master Hawkins! Thank you for arriving at such short notice.
Hawkins: There is nothing to apologize for, your Majesty, for I am ever loyal to the Crown and the Kingdom she protects.
Queen: Good. There is a new development regarding the treasure of the Rojo Verde Azul, a Spanish Galleon lost at sea almost three years ago.
Hawkins: There are rumours that the treasure was stolen and hidden by pirates, your Majesty.
Queen: Indeed! We just discovered that the pirates mackenzie Ragetti, joshamee Gibbs, and hector Barbossa each possessed a piece of a 'treasure map' that leads to the location of the hidden treasure. I want you to examine the map, determine the location and recover the treasure. Of course, I will provide you a ship, the most experienced ship's captain and crew, provisions as well as weapons. Upon successful completion of this mission, you shall be handsomely rewarded. Only you, I, and the ship's captain, are aware of the mission. This mission is CLASSIFIED which means that no one else must know about this!
Hawkins: Yes, your Majesty. ONCE I determine the treasure's location, we shall prepare and set sail immediately.
Queen: Excellent! I knew that I could count on you, Master Hawkins. Here are the pieces of the 'map' that we recently discovered.
Hawkins (when he glances at the 'map'): By Jove!
Queen: Yes. These men were clever, but they were desperate as well. Although Captain Maynard finally hunted down and defeated the three dreaded pirates and their cohorts, he LOST more than half OF his men and nearly lost his life. No one shall mock these pirates. For his heroism, Captain Maynard was REWARDED with the Victoria Cross.
Hawkins: I shall begin immediately, your Majesty.
