The preindication read , " Brooklyn Sea Captain seek Crew , " and promised " the adventure of a life . "
The Vollmers ' plan is dim-witted . They ’re attend for twelve human and women , with or without navigation experience , to voyage around the man with them for two years . Together , they will learn terminology , shoot the breeze the Greek Isles , scuba dive , and research for lost gold .

And , eventually , when the Vollmers pass away , it will be the duty of the crowd to release their bodies into the sea , so they can " float with the fishes for eternity . "
