Immense Sums of Money Lost in Wrecks
on the Ocean

Immense Sums of Money Lost in Wrecks
=. the Ocean,
Casselrs Magazine.
The close of the last century seems to
have been very prolific in wrecks. The
British frigate De Brook, lost in a storm off
stated to have had on board no less than
fifty-two million dollars worth of specie
and jewels, taken from an intercepted
Spanish fleet while on her voyage to Hall
ah ana with he it .er ss9 taken h 200
on the lower deck when the vessel
foundered and all were lost. Many years
afterwards lin 1881 search was being act
lively prosecuted by diving company for
the purpose of recovering this specie. the
result of which has not yet been chronicled.
1t would scarcely be believed that valua-
bles have been recovered nearly two hun
dred and fifty years from the date of the
wreck, but nevertheless it is recorded that
ashore in Tablet bay, in May. 164S. and be-
came a total wreck, had on board many
cases full of curiosities and antiquities for
sale to European museums. These cases
contained idols rare china, glass; silver etc.
As lately as 1888 salving operations were
rewarded by the recovery of several of
these articles. The china was not at all
injured by having been 235 years under the
sea, but the silver articles had suffered con-
siderably. Another very notable case-not
Only tue amount OF treasure on DOaru,
but also for the big ''windfall" for the sal
vOrs-is that of the Thetis, British
frigate, wrecked Oft the coast of Brazil in
1880. with f162.OOO in bullion on board
The hull went to pieces, leaving the
treasure at the bottom of five
or six fathoms of water. The Ad-
miral of the Brazil station and the captains
and crews of four sloops-o of-w war were en-
gagged for eighteen months in recovering
the treasure. The service was attended
with great skill, labor and danger. and four
lives were lost. A good deal of litigation
was the result. as disputes arose between
the parties as to the amount of reward for
the salvors. The Court of Admiralty
awarded f17.O0O: the Privy Council, f29,OO
and f25, 800 for expenses.
full salving expedition took place A rich
Spanish vessel, which had been lost on the
coast of South America. rewarded her salv-
ors with no less than f3O0 0OO stated to
have been forty-four years at the bottom of
the sea. A medal was struck in honor of
this event in 1887. One of the most recent
cases of successful salving operations is
that of the Spanish mail steamer Alphonso
XII. bound from Cadiz to Havana, in Feb
uary. 1885, and sunk of Point Gando, Grand
Canary. in twenty five fathoms of water.
She had on board treasure vaiued at f1OO.-
600. The underwriters who had insured
the vessel organized salving expedition
which was dispatched to the scene of the
wreck in the following May. It's reported
that a few months later most of the specie
was recovered
