    Re: UK news First HMS Victory 'to be raised'

    Though there's claimed to be more than 100 bronze cannon on board which the British government would retain the right to it seems a very generous agreement that the recovery company would keep the treasure even at the lower estimate of only,( only !), four tons of gold thats worth three quarters of a billion dollars at todays prices.

    There is also a claim of gold and silver coins being on board.....

    " The Dutch financial publication, Amsterdamsche Courant, reported on 18 November 1744, a month after the ship sank: "People will have it that on board of The Victory was a sum of 400,000 pounds sterling that it had brought from Lisbon for our merchants."

    It was also thought that large quantities of silver and gold coins would have been on board HMS Victory from enemy prize ships captured by Balchin, worth £120,000 at the time. "
