1 Greetings!
I am looking for a captain who could help me in my investigation. I need to get out on the sea to explore the site of an incident. Are interested in solving a mystery?

2 Inspector Ritchey
I am investigating the wrecking of Carroll A. Deering. The ship foundered during mysterious circumstances. I hope your ships are in good shape and can withstand a bit of bad weather.
Wood x15 Coin
3 Financial issues
I am under the supervision of the Minister of Commerce. Unfortunately, the bureaucracy has delayed the finances needed for the investigation. I am afraid the trail will go cold till I receive the money.
Coin x30 Fish
4 Let's begin!
That's very nice of you, captain. So if your crew is ready, we can start the investigation. Let's sail to the Diamond Shoals, that's where the ship was washed ashore.

Be careful to anchor your ship in safe distance from the shore. The rocky reef is dangerous. Let's have a look if we can find some wreckage left among the rocks.

Give your men radio transmitters and let's spread out. We will find more wreckage like this but we should stay in contact at all times. This is a dangerous area.
Transmitter x1 Coin
3 Bountiful waters
I have seen some fine fish roaming these waters. But we have no time for fishing, we have other work to do. Some lucky fishermen will enjoy this area.
Fish x25 Stone
4 The mystery!
The ship was found here completely abandoned. There is no clue as to what happened to the crew. Help me collect the wooden splinters, we may find something of interest among them.

2 First witness
These iron bars must have belonged to Carroll Deering too. Let's take them with us. Before we go I want to speak with the lighthouse keeper who found the wreck. Wait for me on the ship.
Iron x4 Wood
3 I don't feel so good
The lighthouse keeper told me the ship was previously sighted by his colleague from the lighthouse on Cape Lookout. We should go there next. But first I need to buy some medicine against seasickness.
Coin x30 Stone
4 To the bottom
I feel better now. I don't have a sailor's stomach but that won't keep me from finishing this investigation. Prepare to dive. The waters around Cape Lookout are deep.

You should go and leave the rocks and materials at the nearby port. We need to free cargo space for more evidence we will find here.

2 Strange waters
I will go to the lighthouse, you search the surrounding area but stay in touch at all times. These are strange waters and Deering is not the only ship to have disappeared here.
Transmitter x1 Wood
3 Concentrate, please
From the lighthouse keeper, I learned that the ship had lost her anchors in a storm. What have you found? More fish? If we don't find pieces of the crew in their bellies, they won't help us.
Fish x25 Coin
4 More evidence
Do you see those planks in the water? They look like parts of the ship's bow. Collect them and we will have a closer look in the lab.

Next stop is Barbados where the first mate, Mr. McClellan, was arrested for disorderly conduct in a tavern. But first, let's stop at my office and deliver the evidence we collected.
Iron x4 Planescrew
2 Wrong office
What's this? These ship lights don't concern my investigation at all. Someone must have mistaken my office. Can you help me transport them to the warehouse?
Shipreflector x1 Wood
3 Unkept promises
The forensics team will take a look at the debris while we continue the investigation outside. Minister promised them new equipment a long time ago. I guess we will have to buy it ourselves now.
Coin x30 Iron
4 Evidence or food?
You know what? Bring the fish you caught too. Maybe the science team can get something out of them. Or they will have a nice dinner at least.

What a nice tropical island. It's a pity we are not here on holiday. If I could, I would build a small hut here on the beach and not move a finger. Don't listen to me. Let's get back to work!
Stone x12 Fish
2 No drinking!
There is an inn where the first mate and the crew were drinking while stopping on Barbados. Let's go visit it. But no alcohol! We are at work here.
Coin x60 Wood
3 Follow the clue
I've got a tip. We should go speak with Captain Norton, he was here when the crew from Deering arrived. I will go speak with him, you try asking around the inn some more. Let's stay in contact!
Transmitter x1 Stone
4 Help fellow captain
Captain! I have found Norton. He is repairing his ship in the port. Bring some material for his repairs so he will be inclined to help us and answer all of our questions.

1 Maybe a mutiny
So Norton spoke with the first mate. There are signs of a conflict between the first made and the captain of the Deering. Could a mutiny be behind this accident? Let's discuss this at dinner.
Fish x50 Coin
2 Suspect
We should investigate the past of the first mate. Find out more about him. Leave it to me, you must stay here and help finish the repairs of Norton's ship. I promised it to him.

3 Missing anchors
e need to inspect the waters around Cape Fear. I received some new information. A witness claims the Deering got caught in a storm there. Let's get the diving equipment and hurry to the cape.
Divingmask x1 Fish
4 Quick fix
How many lifeboats do you have on the ship? We could send a search party on each boat to cover the area faster. These boats are not seaworthy? I am sure you can fix them with a few planks.

e found the anchor so it seems the ship did have some difficulties. But it still does not explain the missing crew. Can your sailors take the anchor to the lab? We should continue the investigation.

2 Heading to Rio
The next stop on our investigation voyage will be Rio de Janeiro. Carroll A. Deering delivered a cargo of coal to Rio before she disappeared. Maybe we will find some clues there.
Stone x12 Wood
3 Old friend
aptain Wormwell of the Deering met here his old friend, Captain Goodwin. We should go speak to him. Take some money in case we will have to grease some pockets.

Captain Goodwin said he helped the Deering get new ship reflectors. We should inspect the old ones. They will be in a nearby scrapyard.

Iron x8 Coin
2 Day off
There are still so many questions. Let's take a day off to clear our head. How about a calm fishing trip? The fresh air and sound of water help me think.
Fish x50 Stone
3 No answers
I will have to close the case soon. But there is still no clear answer to what happened. Let's take a closer look at the ship's reflectors we collected in Rio. Maybe they can shine some light on this case.

4 Lab test
Let's try to reconstruct the ship's voyage in our pool. We will need a small model of the Deering and a provisional reef to embody the Diamond Shoals.

1 Solved or not
I will pin this on a mutiny. The sailors must have died during the wrecking and a strong current took the bodies away. We should pay the ships sailing in this area to look out for possible clues.

2 Memorial
Let's hope someone will find the poor sailors so their families can bury their bodies. We should at least build them a memorial for now.

And don't forget the reflectors. They will help you find the way and hopefully, Carroll A. Deering will avoid any further misfortune.

Reward
The case is closed. Although much remains a mystery. Anyway, thank you for your help, captain.
