520    On January 25, 1917, HMS Laurentic struck two German mines
       off the coast of Ireland and sank. The ship was carrying 
       44 tons of gold bullion to the still-neutral United States
       via Canada in order to finance the war effort for Britain 
       and its allies. Britain desperately needed that sunken 
       treasure, but any salvage had to be secret since the 
       British government dared not alert the Germans to the 
       presence of the gold.  Lieutenant Commander Guybon Damant 
       was the most qualified officer to head the risky mission. 
       Wild gales battered the wreck into the shape of an 
       accordion, turning the operation into a multiyear struggle
       of man versus nature. As the war raged on, Damant was 
       called off the salvage to lead a team of covert divers to 
       investigate and search through the contents of recently 
       sunk U-boats for ciphers, minefield schematics, and other 
       secrets. The information they obtained, once in the hands 
       of British intelligence, proved critical toward Allied 
       efforts to defeat the U-boats and win the war. But Damant 
       had become obsessed with completing his long-deferred 
       mission. His team struggled for five more years as it 
       became apparent that the work could only be accomplished 
       by muscle, grit, and persistence. Using newly discovered 
       sources, author Joseph A. Williams provides the first full
       -length account of the quest for the Laurentic's gold. 
       More than an incredible story about undersea diving 
       adventure, The Sunken Gold is a story of human persistence,
       bravery, and patriotism.
