Sea explorers say they’ve found the H.M.S. Victory, a famous British warship that sank in the English Channel during a strong storm in 1744. The Victory is thought to have been carrying 900 men and four tons of gold coins. The gold could be worth more than $1 billion today.
The team of explorers determined the Victory’s identity by examining “41 bronze cannons visible on the sandy bottom.”
i hope tats true because the USA needs the money
i read the site. wowee!! those cannons must be heavy
Awesome! I wish I was the one who found it!
That’s a lot of gold to have found at the bottom of the English Channel. Can US keep it? How did it sink, did it get shot down during a fight with another ship?
if you read it it says that it sank during a storm in 1744
cool
