Player workbench
Follow the Smelly Sailors docks letter to the Dry Tortuga wreck for Guardian Beast Trinket without hunting a beach dig.
This is not a normal map-to-shovel chain. The letter can stay in inventory after the underwater chest opens, so an item icon alone can provoke a risky repeat dive.
Why this entry is useful
Skip the shovel: read the docks letter, dive at the wreck, then check the trinket.
Use the unmarked Dry Tortuga island and wreck near 356, 701 as route leads, not a site-run guarantee. Check the live map, underwater chest labels and Guardian Beast Trinket in your save; if the island, chest count, payout or effect differs, stop and trust the current build.

Use the trinket, not the lingering letter, as proof
The Smelly Sailors letter points to underwater chests, not a shore dig. It can remain in inventory after the wreck rewards are collected, so check the trinket before diving again.
The letter is still in inventory
If Guardian Beast Trinket is already owned, stop diving; read its present effect and leave the letter alone. If it is absent, check whether the current island and wreck match the clue, plan a shorter air-safe descent, and inspect only the chest not yet opened. If the event letter was never awarded, return to the Havana docks event rather than sweeping Dry Tortuga sand.
