The sinking of that vessel was one of the worst maritime disasters in Canada of the time. I do hope we get to see a full documentary of what it took to find it, and what they do find, plus some of the history behind the lives that were lost on that ship and it's consequences.

Who does the gold belong to if it is found? In the past some other country’s believe they are entitled to at least some if not all of it.

Interesting! It’s too bad we don’t display colonial artifacts in BC anymore.

Where did the gold come from?

It’s mine. My family owned the boat.

Why only now after so many years
