On the night of April 14, 2012, an incident occurred which will not be forgotten for the next hundreds of years. The most famous British passenger ship in history, Titanic (RMS Titanic), set out on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York on 10 April 1912. Three days later, on the night of April 14, 1912, the ship collided with a huge iceberg. After this, it gradually sank in the Atlantic Ocean on the morning of April 15, 2026, causing the death of more than 1,500 people. This was the most unfortunate tragedy in history. A similar accident had happened about 200 years ago.
It so happened that the ship carrying the treasure of the King of Britain sank in the sea 400 years ago, which was filled with 5 tons of gold and silver. After nearly 4 centuries, success has been achieved in finding the shipwreck. This wooden ship was traveling between Burnt Island and Leith. During this time, 33 passengers and crew members lost their lives in an accident. In this accident i.e. due to the sinking of the ship, only 2 members were left alive.
The ship sank in the 17th century
According to historians, in the beginning of the 17th century, a ship carrying the treasure of Britain's King Charles I suddenly got stuck in a storm. The storm was so severe that the ship went out of control and sank into the sea. The ship was searched for several months, but no success was achieved. At the same time, the search is going on intermittently, but after 400 years, the search has ended after the wreckage of the ship was found.
British explorers have located this royal ship that sank 400 years ago. This search is also important because there is a possibility of treasure worth crores of rupees in its debris i.e. inside this place. A team of volunteers was working continuously for 3 decades to find this ship. Its wreckage was probably found just a mile away from Burnt Island City.
Where did the ship sink?
The accident occurred during the coronation visit of Charles I in July 1633. Shortly after leaving, the ship 'Blessings of Burnt Island' sank in the Firth of Forth (Gulf of the North Sea) near Scotland. On this ship, along with dozens of people, there was a huge treasure related to the royal property of King Charles I. It is currently worth thousands of crores of rupees.
5 tons of gold and silver were present in the ship
Then British officials had claimed that there was up to 5 tons of gold and silver in the wreckage of the ship. It has also been claimed that a dinner set made for Henry VIII was also present in the ship. Not only this, the value of the royal belongings when the ship sank was 100,000 pounds. This is currently equivalent to several hundred million pounds. This 17th century royal ship sank in the Gulf of 'Firth of Forth' between Burntisland and Leith in Scotland. It capsized in a storm during the coronation of King Charles I in July 1633, sinking.
