Thirty ships with almost all the people killed in less than one hour. And along with these vehicles, the fifth in the account, died steamer «Prince». Barrels of gold at a huge sum went to the bottom along with the steamer. The true amount of anyone in the accuracy was not known. In English the book «The Crimean War» (1877) it was said that «Prince» vez five hundred thousand pounds sterling, and warm clothing.
And now a few years after the Crimean War began searching for this gold.
The search for artificial gold to nothing.
Meanwhile around the «Prince» rumors began to grow and become established legends. The amount of dead gold gradually increased and finally reached up to sixty million.
