Treasure Hunters Hoping to fetch $ 3 - $ 5 billion of the Second World War on the wreck A shipwreck hunter Portland, has found what he believes
a ship torpedoed during the Second World War by a German U-boats off Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Greg Brooks and his partners have filed a claim on the wreck of the District Court of the United States in Portland, Maine, saying he and his team plan to begin the rescue in a few weeks. <br> In court documents, the vessel was found at Port Nicholson, a British merchant ship sunk in 1942. When it sank, it was thought to achieve auto parts and military supplies only. Although Brooks has recovered auto parts to ensure that the salvage rights, he believes that this wreck was secretly carrying a lot more. He said: "It was a top secret mission and they were transporting valuable cargo during the Second World War. We have a lot of information that leads us to say: "Let's go get this. <br> Processing this if it is a top secret mission of his own, he has certainly changed his story about the wreck several times. In January,
he told the London Daily Telegraph that the British wreck off the coast of Guyana, and denied that it was the Port Nicholson. He said that the secret was just trying to prevent other treasure hunters to find what he believes to be "the greatest stimulus package of Maine has ever seen" (Portland Press Herald), assuring that "I will ensure that no child in Maine are hungry again. "<br> Brooks believes that the Wreck of the Port Nicholson contains 71 tonnes of platinum bullion, a payment received by the Soviet Union for military supplies, plus a ton of industrial diamonds on their way to a military plant in Australia and perhaps even the gold of Africa on the way from New York, based on the ports the ship visited before its sinking. Even if the treasure is there, Brooks and his crew will have to faces a huge challenge in taking the goods saved. <br> If a federal judge in Portland, Maine originally issued an order protecting the rights of recovery of Brooks, last August, has since rejected the requests also keep a another person to claim a treasure found, depending on what is recovered. So far, no other parties have filed claims on the wreck. However, once an area ratio results projected Brooks, the Russian Embassy has sent an e-mail. Brooks remains optimistic. "Legally, we are in a good position," he said. "He was hit as he went down ... Nobody looks at this thing since it happened. "Because the wreck is in international waters, the Soviet Union is gone, the U.S. paid for its war debts of the cargo was not insured and the owner left the company, Brooks and her crew, the sea-hunters should be entitled to at least 90 percent of all the treasures being recovered. <br>
Nicolas Walsh, a maritime lawyer in Portland, warns that "This is not scholars, holders. There is always a speaker at any time there is this kind of money involved. "Right rescue is complicated, and claims may be
does my government, insurers, and owners. When the ships were destroyed during the war, they are given a specific classification and are never legally abandoned. It was only after Sea Hunters, LP have recovered their treasure and brought before the court that any decision could be made about what belongs to whom. In most
If, however, it is not unlikely for the payment of a rescue team to 90% of the treasure found. <br> Currently, Brooks is to spend time with Lou.
