of the Caribbean :

The soapy alkali metals are lite and insubstantial, they verily make fire when near wetness, they are kalium , natrium and lithium. Similar is the metal from calcined ash, when wet it does fizz and pop and maketh a white ash. These are useless metals for sea folk. Cuprum is oft alloyed with zinc for brass canon. Cuprum lends properties to resist the sea – though a goblet of cuprum may be pitted and green it is still of use for ever. Cheap coin is struck of cuprum. Zinc on its own fairs nowt as well, it will crumble and dissolve after few years.

Ferrum is hard and tough for our sword blades, but it soon rusteth if not cleaned by the cabin boy. It lasteth decades under the sea, but is rusty crumb in time. Not so plumbum, cover your sea chest with sheets of this and it resist the ravage of water for a century. But it be a soft metal, and sore heavy for portage.

the info

The auric wonder is true and pur – it remaineth constant and untarnished when it stay long buried or in the sea. Similar is argentum, though in truth it resisteth the sea – it remains not as fair as the auric wonder.

Metal from magnesia will burn with a frightening flash to scare common folk. But if damp it loses its fireyness in few days and must be restocked from a dry store.
