$36 Million Of Silver Found From WWII Shipwreck
Now, here’s a classic story of sunken treasure! Apparently, the Nazis sunk a British merchant ship that was carrying around 61 tons of silver. The ship was hit by a Nazi U-boat’s torpedo and sunk on February 17 of 1941. In 2011, an American based underwater archaeology group found the shipwreck about 300 miles off Ireland’s coast. It was about 3 miles deep and the silver weighed a total of 1.8 million ounces. Actually, this ship, heading from India to England needed to break from the military convoy because of insufficient coal and the bad weather conditions and then was hit. Only one man from the 86 aboard survived.
