### 4. **Piracy or Foul Play**
The idea of piracy has long fascinated storytellers, but it’s largely dismissed by historians.
There were no signs of violence. No stolen valuables. No damage consistent with an attack.

Over the years, theories have included everything from sea monsters to alien abduction.
