A ship from the Gold Rush era that sank off the coast of Washington which carried gold that is now worth millions of dollars, was believed to be discovered by a group of historical preservationists.
After colliding with another ship off in the Pacific Northwest, killing over 300 passengers and causing the loss of nearly $5 million in modern gold, the SS Pacific sank in November 1875. Now explorers believe that they have found the wreck of the SS Pacific.
Based on initial information, the find could be a “world-class find,” one of the leaders of the non-profit Northwest Shipwreck Alliance and Rockfish Inc, Jeff Hummel said.

Am I the only one that feels underwhelmed about "Five million dollars" in a shipwreck?

Cpl Vic Burk make a good point. This most likely will be considered as gold treasure and that is taxable from the date found. However, 50% of $5M would make me smile.

It is known that the wreck is somewhere off the coast of Washington, sitting in over 1,000 metres of water. The discovery team used ROV’s to take samples and film the wreckage to determine that it was indeed the SS Pacific.
