      ​@@captainsledge7554 they didn't actually drain the water. What you see is pure computer graphics.
      They scan the ocean using sonar and use that scan images to reconstruct what it must look like if the water was drained.

      Actually - all the people you mentioned (apart from the natives) were part of that process of extracting of value from other parts of the world, often through violence. This is the heritage of the US. The American colonists were actually well-treated by the motherland. Not so much the American Indians. And in fact part of the colonists' beef with the motherland was that they had decided to stop the expansion, something that Washington had already invested in, which may have been part of the reason for his treachery and breaking of his oaths of loyalty.

And the fact that a British Steam engine was sunk and in typical American fashion, "Hey, let's have a battle for the best Ships and control of the Foreign Trade" and in the end it's always what other countries have done to US but never what we've done to them....

    While playing the "Pirates of the Caribbean" online game, they had undead Grenadiers in a mine to eliminate. That's when I realized that the Grenadiers were named for grenade throwers, & of course, the idea would come from miners who used TNT every day..
