Treasure tale ends with Stevens and Halstead profits
Postscript reveals final fortunes from the galleon treasure. Stevens and Halstead net roughly 1.6 million dollars each after selling gold and paying partners. They become steamship owners with four triple expansion vessels and refit the Countess of Devon. The narrative closes with family portraits, London drafts, and a lingering sea captain’s lore.
