$3B WWII Shipwreck Located off of Cape Cod
Sub Sea Research LLC, a Portland Maine based company located the worlds richest shipwreck, a WWII British Freighter carrying a secret cargo of 71 tons of Platinum sunk by a German U-Boat in June, 1942. SSR first discovered the Port Nicholson in 600-800 feet of water off Cape Cod in 2008. In 2009 SSR obtained legal recognition from the US Courts as the legal owner and salvager of the ship. The Port Nicholson and four other ships were being escorted by six military ships in a convoy from Halifax to New York. She is documented to be carrying ~1,707,000 troy ounces of platinum. It may also contain $165M of copper, zinc and war stores. Greg Brooks, one of two SSR founders, said his team has already recovered several identifying and critical artifacts. He has verified that “it is without a doubt the Port Nicholson”. Lend Lease payment from the Soviets. Interesting article. Posted by: tu3031 2012-01-30 |
