Sunken pirate shipwreck could help solve mystery of £100million lost treasure
New research has claimed a sunken ship off the coast of Madagascar could be the long-lost Portuguese vessell the Archbishop of Goa and hold the key to a £110million treasure A sunken ship off the coast of Madagascar could finally solve one of history's greatest pirate mysteries, and unlock a jaw-dropping £110 million hoard of lost treasure. Hidden for more than 300 years beneath the waves near the island of Île Sainte-Marie, the wreck is now believed to be the long-lost Portuguese galleon Nossa Senhora do Cabo, which was captured in 1721 by feared pirates Olivier Levasseur and his partner-in-plunder John Taylor. In a bombshell new study, experts from the Center for Historic Shipwreck Preservation say this could be the key to tracking down one of the richest pirate plunders of all time. On board the Portuguese viceroy, the Archbishop of Goa, there were 200 slaves and a cargo of gold, silver, diamonds, pearls, silks, and religious artefacts. Lead researcher Brandon Clifford said: 'This wasn't just a pirate raid – it was a hijack of royal proportions.' The Cabo had been sailing from India to Portugal when a fierce storm near the Cape of Good Hope left it limping toward safety. But before repairs could be finished, Levasseur and Taylor pounced. After a short battle, the pirates hauled their prize to the pirate haven of Nosy Boraha, which was a notorious hideout once ruled by the likes of Captain Kidd and Henry Avery. On the island, the ship was stripped off all the treasure on board, and according to researchers, there were "110 diamonds, 250 emeralds, 20 rubies, 20 sapphires," along with coins, bars of precious metals and sacred Christian artefacts were seized. One legendary item, the Flaming Cross of Goa, which is said to be encrusted with jewels and so massive it took three men to lift, allegedly went straight into La Buse's personal stash, reports. Researchers have claimed Levasseur didn't stay lucky for long and after retiring to the island, he was eventually caught and hanged in 1729. But before his execution, legend says he hurled a cryptic note into the crowd. Now, new underwater surveys using sonar and seabed scans may finally be closing in on the fabled loot. A wreck matching the dimensions of an 18th-century Portuguese galleon has been found lying beneath the remains of an old pirate fort. Among the haul was Chinese porcelain, ivory, timber carvings and 13 gold coins. But it's the religious items that have raised eyebrows: a Madonna statue, an ivory Jesus, and a crucifix topper inscribed 'INRI'. Researchers say these match the kind of Catholic symbols carried by high-ranking clergy – like the Archbishop of Goa, who was onboard when the Cabo was seized. A report issued by those behind he study says: 'There's strong evidence this wasn't just another pirate ship – but a holy treasure ship that fell into pirate hands." Levasseur had renamed the captured vessel Victorieux, which is French for 'Victorious', and used it as his flagship. But its final fate has been debated for centuries, with some claiming it had wrecked elsewhere and others claiming the ship was deliberately sunk. Now, the team's findings suggest the Cabo was abandoned and possibly burned at Île Sainte-Marie after her legendary journey. With up to ten wrecks scattered around the pirate island, it's a race to see which – if any – holds the infamous treasure. But as the Mirror has learned, if that golden cross is ever found, it may confirm that the Cabo was indeed the ship that sparked one of piracy's greatest legends.

Robin Thicke's much younger bride-to-be April Love Geary 'nauseous' ahead of wedding this weekend
Robin Thicke and his fiancée since 2018, April Love Geary, touched down in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on Thursday ahead of their wedding this weekend. At 48, the groom is 18 years older than his bride, but they've been inseparable ever since they met at a 2014 party when she was only 19. 'I get married this weekend, and I leave tomorrow. And my nerves are so bad, like I honestly, all day, have felt like I'm going to vomit,' April confessed Wednesday via Instastory. 'And I'm just going over a checklist in my head of, like, all the things I need to pack, all the things I need to pack for the kids. And, like, of course I haven't packed anything yet. And I leave tomorrow and I'm an idiot. 'But oh my god, I'm so excited! But I'm literally, like, nauseous. Like, I feel like I'm actually going to throw up. Oh my god! I'm going to forget something important.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop On Thursday, Geary excitedly took airport snaps with her maid of honor, sister Cuevas, and with her bridesmaids Stormi Henley and Olivia Karina. 'Let's get y'all married!' they Instastoried. 'Cabo here we come!' Robin technically proposed to the 5ft11in model-turned-influencer twice - in Christmas 2018 and last week outside the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France where they made their public couple debut. 'Robin surprised me during our trip to Cannes by proposing to me again with a new [Established Jewelry] ring,' April - who boasts 300K Instagram followers - gushed Sunday. 'I'm so obsessed with [the ring], thank you! This trip was such a dream. I love you so much @robinthicke.' Last year, Thicke gushed to People: 'My relationship with April continues to grow beautifully as we've matured into three-time parents together. She's really the most amazing woman a man could ask for.' Indeed, the five-time Grammy nominee and Geary - who enlist a nanny - are proud parents of seven-year-old daughter Mia Love, six-year-old daughter Lola Alain, and four-year-old son Luca Patrick. Robin began dating the brunette beauty nine months after his legal separation from his high school sweetheart Paula Patton, who divorced him in 2015 following a decade-long marriage. Thicke and the 49-year-old SAG Award nominee appear to amicably co-parent their 15-year-old son Julian Fuego. 'And I'm just going over a checklist in my head of, like, all the things I need to pack, all the things I need to pack for the kids. And, like, of course I haven't packed anything yet' On Thursday, Geary excitedly took airport snaps with her maid of honor, sister Cuevas, and with her bridesmaids Stormi Henley and Olivia Karina Last year, Thicke gushed to People: 'My relationship with April continues to grow beautifully as we've matured into three-time parents together. She's really the most amazing woman a man could ask for' Robin began dating the brunette beauty (L) nine months after his legal separation from his high school sweetheart Paula Patton (R), who divorced him in 2015 following a decade-long marriage But the ex-couple didn't finalize their custody arrangement until 2017 due to her making allegations against him of 'child abuse, domestic violence, infidelity, and drug/alcohol addiction.' The SoCal natives will have plenty of time for their honeymoon as Robin has no scheduled concerts on the horizon. Thicke reportedly earns $100K per episode to serve panelist duties on the 14th season of The Masked Singer, which premiers next January on Fox. The Canadian crooner - who still gets 7.1M monthly listeners on Spotify - hasn't released a full-blown record since his eighth studio album On Earth, and in Heaven in 2021. But Robin certainly had a leg up in the industry thanks to his late father, Growing Pains alum Alan Thicke.
