Man, part of me wants to sign up….but honestly the risk is too high.
Later this week, a crew plans to head out from Boston to a World War II shipwreck they’ve already found off the coast of Cape Cod.
Once at the site, they hope to recover platinum and gold from the bottom of the ocean that could be worth billions….The crew hasn’t seen precious metal yet at the site but underwater cameras show crates in a shape and weight that leads Brooks to believe he’s about to become a very rich man.
“I guess when we pull it up I think I’m going to be jumping up and down,” Brooks said. “I won’t sleep much I’m sure.”
Neither will crew members who stand to make 5 percent of the bounty.
“An average crew member here will make probably between $7 million and 12 million each,” Brooks said. He said he’s still looking for a cook and an engineer for the trip.
Of course they could get 5% of nothing if they get skunked.
Still a neat story!
