Our earth is huge, made up of many different layers, the inner core, outer core, mantle and crust, yet most of it is unexplored to this day. And near nothing beneath the surface is known to man. Its way too dense for man to travel far into the earth- the crust itself is 3.0 grams per centimeters squared in most places. The mantle is 4.5g/cm3, the outer core 11.5g/cm3 and the inner core is 13.0g/cm3 . There is no way for us to get into the interior of the planet yet so everything we know comes from scientists. They use processes such as seismic tomography to figure what's going beneath the surface. As for the places on the surface that are hard to explore, mainly underwater areas, sea surface topography is used to map underwater landscapes. .
But I only said that it's hard to explore, not that it hasn't been explored. This story is the most famous of a fierce crew of subaqueous pirates who have traveled the oceans many times under, looting and raiding and doing treacherous things the whole way. There are forty of these men, scallywags, all of them manning this vessel which is modeled a bit like an old galleon. The only difference is that this ship can pull down to be completely stream line when needed, everything is controlled from within, and the sails catch currents and underwater swells in place of wind. Of course when on surface it can function exactly like a normal ship.
These records are kept by the cook, a young lad called Twilt who was snatched up by the motley crew when they visited Scotland. Sipols, the old cook had gotten drunk a few nights before they surfaced in a small seaside town and decided to open the hatch. Drunken fool got washed away, never to be seen again. So the pirates simply snatched the first sturdy looking lad in the first town they came to and that was that. .

We?ve just left San Francisco. The entire city is up in shambles, the men have had a nice night of running around, wreaking havoc.
