A British led dive turned into the "deepest salvage operation in history". On their dive, they found a boat that had been torpedoed in 1942. Its mission was to deliver over 100 tons of silver coins to London to help with the war effort. 6 people had died on their mission. The ship and its cargo were presumed lost until 2011. The treasure chest inside carried up to 34 million dollars and a large percentage of it was recovered. They also recovered parts of the boat.
I am curious as to what will happen to the recovered money. Who will it go to and what will its use be? Also, who will decide what to do with the once lost money?

I am also wondering how the mission was failed to be completed and i think the money should be given to the 6 men's families
