Here’s what’s intriguing about this history lesson: if you can prove you’re related to one of the people who were on board the SS Pacific, you could have a claim to part of $10 million in gold.
KIRO 7 News StaffSEATTLE — You may not have heard about the shipwreck of the old SS Pacific, a steamship that sank off the Washington State coast 147 years ago.
Here’s what’s intriguing about this history lesson: if you can prove you’re related to one of the people on board the Pacific, you could have a claim to part of $10 million in gold. Because there were so many wealthy gold miners onboard, there was also reportedly $10 million worth of gold stowed in the boat, which is now broken into scattered pieces on the seafloor.
The maritime courts have ruled that if you can prove a connection to possessions onboard, you should be able to file a claim to repossess part of the gold.
