A British ship stuffed with gold, diamonds and platinum was sunk by a German submarine in June of 1942. It was American company Sub Sea Research that found the ship lying on the seabed not far from Guyana, South America.
      
      The shipwreck holds a £2.6 billion cargo consisting of gold, diamonds and platinum. The name of the ship and its exact location are not announced, though a code name of Blue Baron was given to the ship.
      
      67 years ago the ship with treasures onboard left one of European ports for the USA. The goods were intended for the US Treasury as payment for military equipment and material support. On its way to New York the Blue Baron was intercepted by a Nazi U87.
      
      Several governments are expected to lay claims over the treasures. According to the Daily Telegraph, 500 kilograms of diamonds could be British, while 10 tons of gold and 70 tons of platinum could belong to the Soviet Union.
