ORIGINAL! RARE! PIRATE CAPTAIN THOMAS VEALE'S TREASURE OF DUGEON ROCK CDV PHOTO 1862PIRATE CAPTAIN THOMAS VEALE'S TREASURE OF DUGEON ROCK CDV PHOTO 1862
[ Pirate Captain Thomas Veale and 3 other pirates sailed up the Saugus River near Lynn, Massachusetts in the middle of the 17th century. They were seen carrying a chest but disappeared after purchasing digging tools and other supplies from the locals.They built a shelter and brought a woman with them, supposedly a bride to one of the pirates, but she took ill and died soon after. The authorities raided the pirate camp and arrested three of them, sending them back to England to be hanged. The fourth, Thomas Veale, hid in a nearby cave where he lived for a time, occasionally working as a shoemaker. When a large earthquake struck the area in 1658 the cave collapsed, killing the Pirate and burying his treasure with him. The area (near Lynn, Massachusetts) was known as Pirates’ Rock and later Dungeon Rock. Hiram Marble and his son purchased the land in 1852 and spent decades trying to find Veale’s treasure to no a-vale. The sale of this CDV photo helped Hiram Marble with the costs of treasure hunting.]
