Own your share of wartime gold
The owners of a ship which sank in the lough in 1917 are to sell shares in the 20 gold bars which it is believed are still in the wreck. The SS Laurentic was a passenger ship but during the First World War it was used by the British government to transport gold to pay for munitions. The majority of the 43 tons of gold the ship was carrying when it sank have already been recovered, but the remaining bars are estimated to be worth £10m. (30/04) Read
