Not long before Christmas 2016 I received a strange package. It was a large poster tube addressed to me and was unexpected. What was inside the package was baffling. There was a large nautical map of the Philippines, a photocopy of pages from a rare book about pirates, a strange amulet, an email and letter from Kelsey Marine Salvage, a scrap of parchment with a code written on it and a glass bottle – corked with a parchment inside.

I searched for information all over the web. I found the website for Kelsey Marine Salvage but they have closed their doors. As a last resort I started a group on Facebook hoping to find out something about this package. If you know anything about these items please visit my study group.
