Description
The Tsar’s Treasure captures the story of the lost luxury White Star Liner referred to as the Millionaires’ Ship and Capt. Martin’s Bayerle 30-year quest to seek out her fabled treasure. When the RMS Republic sank in 1909, she used to be the largest ship to sink in history (only to be surpassed by her sibling ship, RMS Titanic, a mere three years later). When Republic sank, she took together with her not only all her cargo and passenger effects, but in addition some politically-sensitive secrets. Rumors of a vast treasure, of “riches beyond most men’s wildest dreams,” were published the day after her sinking and have persisted for more than 100 years.
