You play a character named Tuck Pinkleton from the North American village Golden Greek whose uncle has run out of funds and is unable to open his maritime museum exhibit. To solve the problem, Tuck decides to go on an expedition to shipwrecks to claim the wealth of underwater treasure. The game takes place in five missions, in which the player does tasks like research the wreck, and obtain a crew. Three of the cases see the player travel to Spain, Malta, and Madagascar.
