Not Pirate Ships—Danish Slave Wrecks Found

Turns out those 'pirate' shipwrecks off Costa Rica are actually Danish slave ships from 1710! Archaeologists cracked the case after finding unique yellow bricks and analyzing the ship’s wood—both traced back to Denmark. These ships, once part of the brutal transatlantic slave trade, sank after a failed rebellion and a wild journey. The real story is way darker and more dramatic than any pirate legend. Wild how history can hide in plain sight! #HistoryRevealed #Shipwrecks #Archaeology #CostaRica #SlaveTrade #Science
