Millions In Silver

A British merchant ship that was attacked by the Nazis in 1941 had been found about 300 miles off the coast of Ireland, 3 miles underwater. This lead to another discovery of a whopping 61 tons of silver worth about $36 million. There were about 1,574 silver ingots weighing a total of 1.8 million ounces. This ship was going from India to Liverpool, but the Gairsoppa was forced to break away from a military convoy off the coast of Ireland because of lack of fuel and the harsh weather.
