Adventure Ship SS Jesmond & Atlantis discovery that emerged from the sea
No one knows where the location of the actual continent of Atlantis. Mysterious continent which was mentioned by Plato it was submerged by the earthquake and is currently believed to be in the seabed. However, in 1882, a merchant ship named the SS Jesmond find an island that seemed to have just emerged from the seabed. The island was believed to be the remains of the civilization of Atlantis because of artifacts found on it.
According to legend, on March 1, 1882, the British merchant ship named the SS weighs 1495 tons carrying Jesmond dried fruits are in routine voyage across the Atlantic. This ship departed from Messina, Sicily, with the aim of New Orleans. This voyage should only be a routine voyage for the crew, including the captain, David Amory Robson.

At that time, they just passed the straits of Gibraltar and was about 200 miles west of Madeira and the Azores in the south, at about the same distance.
Wherever they cast a glance, only the ocean is visible. However, not long after, they saw something else in the water.
Not as usual, that day looks thick mud covering the water surface. Not only that, captain Robson saw the dead fish is estimated at half a million tonnes spread over an area of 7500 square miles.
Robson thought something was going on in the waters, but he could not tell.
He ordered the helmsman to continue running the ship, past the millions of dead fish and the thick mud.
The next morning, something strange looks. SS Jesmond, who was still sailing in the direction that has been determined, finding a mysterious island ahead of him. Captain Robson realize that this island may have just emerged from the sea. He was used to pass through this point and had never seen her before. Moreover, the map shows that this region has no land at all.
The island was large, about 30 miles from north to south. On top of the island, visible presence of a mountain that emit smoke.
At that time, Captain Robson received the news from a monitoring station in the Azores and Canary had reported a small eruption of underwater volcanoes. Now Robson believes that the activity of the mountain has caused the death of millions of fish and the appearance of a mysterious mud above sea level. He therefore thought that the emergence of a mysterious island in front of him possibly also due to the volcanic activity.
Curiosity Robson began to rise. Then he led a small team to investigate the island.
When he set foot on the island, he found that the place was dominated by black basalt and sedimentary soils formed properly. On it is also seen many dead fish, just like in the waters that they have encountered before. The surface of the island was empty, there is no plant or a sandy beach. In addition, there are many natural crevices that emit steam constantly.
Not long later, a crew accidentally discover a body that once was a note with a thorough eye darts.
Now they became more enthusiastic.
Then they started digging at random with the spirit to re-discover a number of eye darts together with small knives.
Robson to get back to the ship and take a more complete equipment. This time he was also carrying 15 people volunteer. By night, they have found other artifacts which are very unexpected.
They found a statue of a woman who fulfilled by the moss. The statue was carved on one side of the stone and its size is slightly larger than humans in general. Farther to the center of the island, they found two stone walls. Nearby, they found a sword made of yellow metal of unknown type.
They also found the spear eye, the eye axes, metal rings and the ceramic form of birds and other animals. Then, they also found two large clay jar which contains the remains of bones with human skulls. What is particularly remarkable is the discovery of a sarcophagus with a mummy in it.
Robson realize that if they had found the remains of past civilizations. And this is quite remarkable because it seems a new island emerged from the sea.
He wants to continue pancarian, but the weather began to not support so he decided to return to the ship by bringing all the artifacts he found. However, he intends to return. So he marked the position of the island in his notes, which is 31 ° 25 'N, 28 ° 40' W.
He was ordered to lift anchor and move on. SS Jesmond arrived in New Orleans on 31 March.
After arriving in New Orleans, the discovery of the island and mysterious artifacts are beginning to sound by the media. Then, a local newspaper to publish them and then spread throughout the country.
Reporters from the New Orleans Times Picayune newspaper who interviewed Robson writes that he has shown artifacts found in and not feel that things are false. The reporter also said that the captain Robson intends to donate any artifacts to the British museum.
But then it all becomes a mystery.
On 19 May, Robson known to bring back to England without his invention.
Since then, the existence of these artifacts is not known anymore.
In 1940, the office of shipping company that shaded the SS Jesmond, namely Watts, Watts and Company in England, experiencing bombing by German forces so that the SS Jesmond travel records destroyed involved with him. So, the researchers who then tried to investigate claims Robson could not find anything else. It also did not find any record of donations from Robson told the British museum.
What happened exactly? What is the story of the discovery that only engineering Robson?
Lawrence Hill, who has examined about this mystery quite believe the story Robson. He has a theory why these artifacts were never seen again.
According to him, the name of the yellow metal on the sword found by Robson is Tumbaga, the alloy consisting of 80% gold and 20% copper. Metal type is referred to Plato as he thinks Orichalum numerous in Atlantis. Hill also mentions that Robson has melted the sword to take the gold. There is a possibility that Robson has been thought better to donate these findings. Therefore, these artifacts can not be found again.
In addition, the mysterious island is seen by Captain Robson seems to also be seen by Capt. James Newdick, the captain of The Westbourne. At that time, Captain Newdick was sailing from Marseilles to New York. However, he noted the position of the island at 5 º 30 'N, 24 º W, is not too far from the previous location. This indicates that the island was floating or indeed there are two different islands emerging from the sea.
Then, another affirmation of the crew come from other more or less at the same time sailing through the area. They also saw the fish die over the ocean. Their testimony about the dead fish were also reported in local newspapers.
So, there are some aspects of the testimony that Robson could be confirmed.
Regarding the emergence of an island from the sea, it was not something strange. Geological events of this kind have actually been observed several times. For example, recently, an island suddenly appeared from the sea off the coast of Pakistan. The local fishermen reported this incident on November 26, 2010.
Below are satellite photos of earthobservatory.nasa.gov that show before and after the emergence of the island.
Below is a screenshot from the surface of the island taken by Pakistani fishermen who had come to the island.
According to NASA, these islands appear to be ordinary and then immediately disappear because the waves swallowed.
Thus, the testimony of Captain Robson about his encounter with the island that emerged from the sea is not something impossible. However, is it true he had found the remains of human civilization in it? This question can not be confirmed by other evidence besides the testimony of Robson and journalists who interviewed him.
Claims of Atlantis itself comes from Plato in his Timaeus and Critias.
If Atlantis really exist and not just a bouquet of Plato, the most likely location is the place where the SS Jesmond see the mysterious island. According to Plato, Atlantis was situated opposite the Pillars of Hercules which is the ancient name for Gibraltar Strait.
If the island is viewed Robson was part of the civilization of Atlantis, is it possible that one day he re-appeared and answered all our doubts? Adventure Ship SS Jesmond & Atlantis discovery that emerged from the sea
