Tintin achète un modèle réduit de bateau pour le capitaine Haddock au Vieux Marché. Par coïncidence, c'est le modèle de celui que commandait son ancêtre, le chevalier de Hadoque, sous le règne de Louis XIV. Tintin découvre par hasard dans le grand mât du bateau un parchemin incompréhensible en faisant tomber le bateau. Entre temps, Haddock a découvert un coffre contenant les objets ayant appartenu à son ancêtre, et en particulier des manuscrits... Grâce à ces manuscrits, Tintin et lui apprennent l'existence d'un trésor et décident de se lancer à sa recherche. Le modèle est volé et Tintin apprend que deux autres répliques du navire existent, et que pour retrouver le trésor, il faut réunir les trois répliques…

Georges Prosper Remi (22 May 1907 – 3 March 1983), better known by the pen name Hergé, was a Belgian comics writer and artist. His best known and most substantial work is The Adventures of Tintin comic book series, which he wrote and illustrated from 1929 until his death in 1983, leaving the twenty-fourth Tintin adventure Tintin and Alph-Art unfinished. His work remains a strong influence on comics, particularly in Europe. "Hergé" is the pseudonym of George Remí, making a game with the initials of his name inverted. Throughout the evolution of his star character, Tintin, we can see the progress of this author: from the first titles marked by the ultraconservative doctrine of the director of the newspaper Le Petit Vingtième, to the breaking of conventions embodied from The Blue Lotus, as well as the evolution of the society of his time. The research carried out by Hergé to historically contextualize his Adventures, as well as his implicit social criticism, have made Tintin a masterpiece of the 20th century.
