The Odyessey Explorer, currently engaged in surveying south of the Scillies has made her second big bullion haul of silver this year. A ship torpedoed during World War I while carrying a shipment of silver has been discovered 2,500m beneath the surface of the North Atlantic. The SS Mantola sank in 1917, after being hit by German submarine U-81.
US firm Odyssey Marine Exploration located it off the south west coast of the
Republic of Ireland, about 100 miles (160km) from where it found the SS
Gairsoppa shipwreck last month.
