Amerikanske dykkere gør nyt guldfund

Odyssey Marine Exploration, der er specialiseret i at finde og tømme værdifulde vrag, har fundet resterne af HMS Victory i den engelske kanal. Det engelske krigsskib sank i 1744, og trak 1100 besætningsmedlemmer - men angivelig også 100.000 guldmønter - med sig i dybet.

HMS Victory forsvandt i sin tid sporløst, efter at det i en storm blev skilt fra resten af den engelske flåde, efter at have kæmpet med franske skibe ud for Portugals kyst.

"Det er stort fund alene på grund af historien. Det er meget sjældent, at et ældgammelt mysterium som dette bliver løst. Vi fandt det mere end 80 kilometer fra hvor man troede, det gik ned", siger Gregg Stemm fra Odyssey Marine Exploration til The Times.

Odyssey Marine Exploration siger, at man har fundet vraget af HMS Victory udenfor britisk territorium, og at man derfor har søgt om eneret til vraget. Men det vil det britiske forsvarsministerium ikke acceptere uden sværdslag.

"Hvis det viser sig, at vraget er et britisk krigsskib, tilhører vraggodset også Storbritannien", siger en talsmand for det britiske forsvarsministerium.

Det amerikanske firma har dog endnu ikke fundet de 100.000 guldmønter, der angiveligt skulle have været ombord, da HMS Victory sank i den engelske kanal.

For to år siden ramte firmaet guld, da man bjærgede et spansk skib med 500.000 sølvmønter ud for Portugal. Dem spanske stat har efterfølgende sagsøgt Odyssey for at få udleveret guldskatten, og den sag er ikke afsluttet endnu.
