Spoiler: it’s empty
This is cool: the maritime museum in Greenwich owned Sir Francis Drake’s treasure chest. Problem was, it was locked and they didn’t have a key.
Here’s a neat short film of the conservator making a key for it, starting with a blank and observing where the mechanism rubbed against the metal.
I’m sure they knew there was nothing in it before they started, but internets got to clickbait.
