Legend has it that in the year 1726, Captain Henry Steel was among the most revered and feared pirates of all. In fact, he was known to have looted over 100 ships in just one year.

But Captain Steel's legend was lost, along with all of his treasure as his incredible story faded over time, into the realm of mythology.

Over the years, many treasure hunters have sought the reputed treasure of Captain Henry Steel and thus prove the myth that he and his fearless, yet small crew, ever existed. To this day, every one of these missions has failed. Yet each has discovered crumbs of evidence that have lead many to believe that the myth is in fact real, that Captain Steel was the greatest pirate of all and that his incredible bounty is still, to this day, waiting to be found.

The story has been passed down through the generations and recorded evidence exist that one Henry Steel did exist and was a ship's captain at the time the legend was generated. But this is all that can be proven and so the questions remain. Was he a pirate? And does his treasure exist?
