The Legend of Ching Shih
200 years ago pirate leader Ching Shih (also known as Zheng Yi Sao) terrorized the shipping in the South China Seas as leader of the Red Flag Fleet. As the world’s most successful pirate of all time, Ching Shih commanded over 1400 pirates and 24 ships until she surrendered to the Qing authorities under favourable terms which gave both herself and her crews full immunity.
Plundering ships from the East India Company, the Portuguese Empire and Qing China, Ching Shih traded with pirates around the world amassing a wealth of foreign treasures for her personal coffers.
Very little is known of her descendants, however legend has it that she passed on a coded map to her eldest son detailing the location of her hidden treasure.
Bounty hunters and treasure seekers have been looking for that map for generations.
Can you discover the hidden resting place of Ching Shih’s plunder?
The Hidden Listener
On 3rd Sept 1939 Britain Declared War on Nazi Germany. The need for intelligence was paramount, so in 1941 Churchill commissioned a Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre (CSDIC). This centre was Latimer House.
Latimer House was a special POW camp and interrogation centre, fitted out with listening devices and staffed with secret listeners . Over 200 intelligence officers operated within its walls, all waiting to discover the captured Generals’ secrets.
Latimer House was critical to the war effort, and its existence was classified for 50 years. Even now, nearly 80 years later, some Top Secret files haven’t been declassified. Some of those secrets are hidden in the basement of Latimer House, where a tunnel is still sealed under the official secrets act.
Join us to discover the fate of one of the hidden listeners…
