- 6 years ago
It's a discovery like something out of an adventure movie--
A Russian battleship that sank 113-years ago in waters off Korea's Ulleung-do Island has been located.
The Dmitri Donskoii, believed to be carrying gold coins and bars said to be worth some 133-billion U.S. dollars, was found earlier this week.
Shinil Group, the Korean company that has been searching for the ship for years,... announced the discovery and said it's working on lifting the wreckage.
The company also said it plans to donate one-tenth of the 'treasure' for the development of Ulleung-do Island and also put additional ten percent of the gold coins toward the government's inter-Korean joint railroad projects with Russia as well.
