As the boat nears Monte Cristo, Captain Gaetano explains the grim truth behind the Mediterranean’s “missing” vessels. Ships expected at Bastia, Porto-Ferrajo, or Civita Vecchia sometimes vanish without a trace—not due to rocks or storms, but to long, narrow pirate boats that attack under cover of darkness. Franz presses the captain on why no survivors report these crimes, and Gaetano describes the chilling procedure: plunder, binding, a weight tied to every neck, and a scuttled ship sinking in minutes. The sea swallows everything, leaving no witnesses and no evidence—only a whirlpool marking the vessel’s final descent. This, Gaetano tells him, is why no one complains, and why lost ships stay lost.
