If this is a serious question… There is an infinitesimal chance of puncturing a vessel of that size while underneath it to plunder its hold’s contents via the same hole — especially at the aforementioned tech level of the time.
Even if you could avoid detection in the process of completing the hole, anyone sent through to retrieve the loot would be crushed in transit and arrive aboard as some variation of a frothed bio jam — with or without the membrane that otherwise held them more or less together up until that point in their presumably harebrained life.
Wait, I’m confused. Assuming you were able to make the hole and seal some sort of connection a-la boarding in a spaceship in a sci-fi show, why would you be crushed in the process of boarding the ship?
No, seriously. If you’re at or near the surface of the water, yeah there’s going to be some pressure, but nothing even close to the pressure needed to crush a human (ruling out water hammer and such since that wouldn’t reasonably be possible in such a situation.)
You’re aware things like the diving bell exist, right? And they deal with pressures many times the pressure we’re talking about here. Hell, you can free dive to the depths we are talking about, no equipment needed.

Stay in school, kids. 🥲
