Very interesting show. But, most of the treasures was recovered and sold from another ship.

You are thinking of the SS Republic, a Civil War era side paddlewheeler which sank in 1865 off the coast of Georgia with a piddly reported $400,000 face value shipment, of which $100,000 was recovered.

Our RMS Republic, lost in 1909, is the real deal ....

The fabled gold of the RMS Republic has taunted treasure hunters for more than a century. The day after her sinking, newspapers published multiple unconfirmed reports that "a large sum of money" had gone down with the ship, riches that were later described to be "beyond most men's wildest dreams." Only relatively recently, however, has subsea technology - utilizing a Diving Support Vessel with a saturation diving system - enabled a real and unique opportunity to recover her riches. The hunt for Republic's treasure has become one of the most publicized and followed sunken treasure stories in the world. Join us as we bring this century-old mystery of the "Millionaires' Ship" to an exciting and, we believe, very prosperous conclusion!

The adventure begins again, summer 2022!

We had 21 dives planned, of which we completed only 7 - hence the producers added the filler.

Now, we go back summer 2022:

We film in summer 2022, saturation diving. We will have twice the underwater footage in one 6 hour saturation bell run than all the surface diving in B$W. A craftsman's only as good as his tools.

That valuation is too low.
