The Mysterious Treasure of Weymouth Harbour
A long, long time ago, in July 1588 to be precise, the Spanish Armada approached Portland with the galleon "San Salvador" among them. But before they could reach their destination, the San Salvador mysteriously exploded. The curious English fleet brought her into Weymouth Harbour for closer inspection and to their amazement, they found chests of gold and silver on board. Rumour has it that the treasure was hidden in the many passageways and tunnels that are supposed to be under the high ground and the Nothe Penninsular. But now, after restoration work in the harbour, an old, weathered map and a set of scrawled clues have been revealed. The Exploration Society has reached out to the TOP Treasure Seekers for help in unearthing the hidden, historical hoard. Do YOU have what it takes to follow the clues and discover the truth behind this mysterious treasure?
