Killingholme Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 A South Korean team has located the wreck of Cruiser Dmitrii Donskoi, scuttled in the aftermath of the Battle of Tsushima. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/07/18/russian-warship-carrying-100-billion-gold-discovered-south-korea/ The wreck was discovered on 15 July 2018 by the South Korean treasure hunting company, Shinil Group, and international experts 1,400 feet (430 m) below the surface. A joint operation by companies from China, Canada and the UK will attempt to retrieve 200 tons of gold worth £100 billion (c. US$133 billion), which they believe to be inside the wreck, in late 2018. They have pledged to give 10% of the gold back to Russia, where a campaign group has demanded the full amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
