- Summary
- "On January 25, 1917, HMS Laurentic struck two German mines off the coast of Ireland and sank. The ship was carrying 44 tons of gold bullion to the still-neutral United States via Canada in order to finance the war effort for Britain and its allies. Britain desperately needed that sunken treasure, but any salvage had to be secret since the British government dared not alert the Germans to the presence of the gold ... Using newly discovered sources, author Joseph A. Williams provides the first full-length account of the quest for the Laurentic's gold"--From publisher description
