SS John Barry SS " John Barry " was a 7 , 200 - ton American Liberty ship in World War II . The ship was built at one of the Kaiser Shipyards in Portland , Oregon , and launched on 23 November 1941 . The " John Barry " was torpedoed and sunk in the Arabian Sea at position in 1944 . Sinking . The ship left its convoy under radio silence to go on a mission to Dhahran in Saudi Arabia when it was torpedoed off the coast of Oman by the German submarine on 28 August 1944 . Two crewmen were killed in the sinking and the survivors were rescued the next day . The SS " John Barry " was carrying a cargo of 3 million American - minted Saudi one - riyal silver coins as an American payment associated with ARAMCO . The reason for this shipment ( one of several during the war ) was that Saudi Arabia did not use paper money at the time and this led to a war - time shortage of currency with which to pay workers building new oil refineries and other US facilities at newly founded Dhahran . Because the exact nature of the cargo was a secret , rumors spread that the SS " John Barry " carried a vast shipment of 26 million US $ ( 1944 value ) worth of silver bullion to India as well as the smaller cargo of coins . After the recovery effort of this purported treasure failed ( see below ) , it was discovered that all silver shipments to India were accounted for and a new destination for the silver bullion was theorized , the Soviet Union . Recovery . The ship had sunk to 8 , 500 feet below the sea surface , far beyond the reaches of most undersea recovery methods . Forty - five years later , however , Skeikh Ahmed Farid al Aulaqi was granted salvage rights . Retired U . S . Navy Captain Brian Shoemaker , former General Counsel of the Navy , Hugh O ' Neill , and Jay Fiondella , owner of " Chez Jay " , a celebrity - renowned seafood dive in Santa Monica , California , successfully bid for the salvage rights from the U . S . Government . In order to raise the money to retrieve the " John Barry " they formed a partnership called " The John Barry Group " . Contractors from Houston , Texas , were initially involved in the search , and their efforts were later augmented by the Toulon - based " Institut Français de Recherche pour l ' Exploitation de la Mer " ( IFREMER ) . In October 1994 , a modified drilling ship , Flex LD , carrying a 50 - ton video - equipped grab designed by IFREMER , sailed to the location of the " John Barry " . By early November , much of the ship had been excavated , revealing vintage U . S . Army trucks , tanks , and military equipment . Soon after , the first sign of silver was seen ( though initially the video feed was clouded by the ship ' s oil sticking to the camera lens ) . Over the next five days , the grab brought up 1 . 3 million Saudi riyals weighing 17 tons and showered them onto the drill - ship ' s deck . The purported Indian / Soviet silver was nowhere to be found , although the salvagers were unable to access all the locations they suspected the silver might rest . While some plans have surfaced to relaunch the recovery effort , none have come to fruition .
