Imagine it is a day centuries ago—you are standing on a Spanish galleon preparing to set sail. The ship is bustling with activity as crew members work feverishly to load vast amounts of gold, silver, and jewels from all over the Americas onto the deck, preparing for the voyage to Spain the next day! Sailors are preparing plenty of food and water, the captain has invited a nobleman and his wife onto the deck, and the guards are standing at their posts, protecting the ship and its precious treasures from any dangers that may arise during the journey. The stories in this book are like a journey, but it is not a journey through space (because the great voyage of this galleon is unexpectedly short), but a journey through time—you will travel through time! Open the book, and time flies by at your fingertips: hours, years, even centuries. Each moment—each stop in your journey—is a new chapter in the story: the days the ship was built in the dockyard, its brief glory sailing along the coast of the American continent, its misfortune of falling into the hands of pirates, and its century-long silence on the seabed after sinking—all of which tell the legendary story of a galleon.
