“More than $150 million worth of gold treasure has been found in a centuries-old shipwreck discovered recently off the coast of Finland — and it has archaeologists going gaga. Divers found the ship and its treasure — 10,000 gold coins and jewelry — south of the Finnish island of Jussarö, Discovery News reported. The divers think the sunken vessel, a legendary 15th-century ship named Hanneke Wrome, sank in a storm. According to historic documents, the ship had more than 200 passengers and crew members aboard. In addition to the coins and jewelry, it carried 200 parcels of fabric and 1,200 barrels of honey.”
