Summary

Hidden deep in the woods of East Granby, Connecticut, legend whispers of a pirate’s fortune worth over $300 million today. In the 1660s, Captain David Marteen sailed his ship up the Connecticut River, stashed his treasure, and vanished without a trace. Some say his gold still lies buried along Salmon Brook—guarded by the ghostly figure of the captain himself. Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger follow the map of history into shadowy forests where folklore, mystery, and the lure of pirate riches collide. Could the treasure still be waiting to be unearthed… and are you brave enough to face the spirit that protects it?

0:36.8	Y'ar, matey. Y'ar. So, Jeff, why are we dressed like pirates?
0:41.4	Because, matey, we're looking for pirate treasure. Yo ho! Okay, okay. But we're deep in the woods of East
0:47.6	Granby, Connecticut. We're almost 50 miles from the ocean as the crow flies. No, you're right. I get it.
0:53.2	And when you think about pirates and pirate treasure, you don't think of East Grand Beach, Connecticut, located in Northern Connecticut.
0:59.0	No, I don't think of Northern Connecticut when it comes to pirates, and the only water nearby is this stream.
1:05.0	Now that would be salmon stream, and that's why we're here. We're only about 12 miles from Hartford.
1:09.0	Hartford is, of course, the capital, and it's located where it is because it sits on the Connecticut River. And Hartford is about how far a large sailing ship can make it up the Connecticut River from Long Island Sound before the waters get too shallow. Okay, that makes sense. So a smaller ship, like a sloop, could head even further north. Now, the Connecticut River is only about nine miles to our east.
1:30.0	Anyway, in the year 1665, Dutch pirate David Martine,
1:34.5	plundered a ship called Neptune with a mega fortune in its hold,
1:38.6	and there's some evidence to support he brought the treasure
1:41.3	and hit it somewhere nearby while we're standing today. And they say
1:45.8	that treasure has never been found. Hello, I'm Jeff Belanger. Welcome to episode 402 of the New
1:57.0	England Legends podcast. And I'm Ray Osier. Thank you for joining us on our mission to chronicle every legend in New England one story at a time.
