Well done big jake, you beat me to it.
Holy Crap!!
So that's the ship that they found. I've been watching Treasure Quest on the Discovery Channel. I missed an episode this last week and didn't realize what ship it was. I'll say it again HOLY CRAP!

Apparently, this is 'Balchen's Victory' that was lost while carrying gold, the largest warship of her day. Outstanding!! Maybe somebody will produce a model of her... Revell?
Thanks, Big Jake. Here's a link to the story on this side of the pond:
