Only a few nautical miles from the Atlantic Ocean just inside
Sebastian Inlet, once lay a little known island named Mullet Cay;
now divided into 10 separate spoil islands along the intracoastal
waterway off of the modern day city of Floridana, Florida.
During the summer of 1791, five notorious pirate captains met on
the island to make an agreement never to attack each other. As a
gesture of good faith, each took with them a bag of personal
treasure to be buried on the island. If any of the five were to be
killed, their treasure was to be divided between those who
remained.
Each of the pirate captains buried his treasure in an individual
plot and a map was drawn, showing the locations. There were just
five copies of the map, of which each captain had one. Within two
years of the meeting, all five pirates were dead! Either killed in
action or taken by the authorities and executed.
There were many rumors about the meeting on Mullet Island, but
no one knew the whereabouts of the treasure or who held any of the
maps. After the Siege of Mullet Cay by Captain Jack Sparrow and his
crew, all hope that there was treasure buried on the island was
abandoned. The story was consigned to myth and legend.
What with the main island now split into ten small isles, there
is little hope of finding even a trace of the treasure that once
lay buried along this coast.
