Current Event

WWII Cargo Ship
On September 26 some people found a WWII shipwreck containing about 200 tons of silver and maybe more undiscovered treasure the ship was a British cargo ship called the SS Gairsoppa witch was heading to Kolkota, India with silver, iron, and tea until  the captain realized that they were almost out of gas so they when to go to Galway, Ireland when they got hit by a Nazi submarine called U101 32 of 85 members of the crew got on lifeboats only one Second Officer Richard Ayres survived and made it to the coast live the reason it took so long to find is because divers cant dive that deep only machines can dive 4,700 meters deep.

  1. This is a pretty good summary, with most important details. How did they know it was there and how did they find it? What will they do with the silver? One way to improve is to include more in your reflection of the article. How did science/technology help with this find? What did you like about the article? What is your opinion about it? Why do you like learning about WWII? Also, be sure to include the title of the article, the author, and when it was written at the top.
