INTEREST: The HMS Birkenhead (1852) : Known for the “women and children FIRST” rule, this wreck off South Africa holds a deeper SECRET: Birkenhead Gold. Rumour says it sank with GBP240,000 in gold coins (MILLIONS today) meant for ARMY pay. Many men, stayed behind to PROTECT it, drowned. Many drowned. Despite many HUNTS, the treasure remains LOST to the sea.

To stand and be STILL to the Birken’ead drill is a damn’ TOUGH bullet to chew.” Rudyard Kipling
