Factual error: Some factual errors regarding Basques: 1) Basques have not been fighting for ages against France and Spain, and they do not kidnap US citizens. 2) Basques do not look, in any way, like South Americans. 3) Violent Basques are not guys "up on a mountain" with old rifles, but terrorists with modern weapons.

Factual error: A 250-year-old sea chest recovered from the ocean floor is opened, and all its paper items are perfectly dry: the log book can be opened and read, and the letters can easily be unrolled. Highly unlikely. The chest's wood and pitch would deteriorate (salt water is extremely corrosive), and the paper should be damp and crumbly, at the very least. Even more likely, it would have become a lump of unreadable sludge.
