Sunken Gold: Shipwrecks and the New Gold Rush
This documentary explores the modern gold rush unfolding on the ocean floor, where thousands of shipwrecks hold cargoes of precious metals. As demand rises and land-based sites dwindle, the seas are seen as a new Eldorado ripe for salvage. The film weighs the treasure hunting against the technology and ethics involved. It is an intriguing watch about shipwrecks, gold, and the race to claim the riches of the deep. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
