Silver haul on Atlantic shipwreck

Two hundred tonnes of silver has been found on an Atlantic shipwreck, with a value estimated to be about £150million. It is the largest ever haul of precious metal found at sea.

The find was found on board the ruins of the SS Gairsoppa, a UK cargo ship sunk by a German U-boat in 1941.
