The Great Atlantic Treasure !

Wonder never seems to take a pause. But there are wonder of wonders that keeps us awestricken ! Who knows what the deep sea might reveal-especially when one suddenly stumbles upon such titanic discovery. Yes we are dumbfounded to know about the recent discovery by Sea Explorers near Alantic.The British ship Mantola which was bound for Calcutta with Captain David James Chivas ( nephew of Chivas Brothers,manufacturer of Chivas Regal Brand of Scotch Wiskey) at the helm was hit by a German torpedo in the year 1917. She went under the Atlantic and along with her went 18 passengers , 165 crew members and around 20 tonnes of silver-worth about $18 million at todays price. She was finally located with the help of a tethered robot. What a catch !!!
