<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 3136045, member: 86498&quot;]Most likely the ship which was&nbsp; part of a fleet which left St Petersburg in the Baltic Sea heading to the Pacific Ocean to fight the Japanese Navy might have been the ship carrying the gold needed to purchase supplies along the way as well as to pay for the men on the fleet as well as those already at Port Arthur. This a large amount of gold might be on a single ship. The limited amount of information I have been able to glean so far is that the ship was kept out of the battle, only coming under fire after the main Russian fleet was destroyed by the Japanese. Later because of damage received the ships crew was taken off and the ship scuttled. However no reference in Wikipedia about the ship carrying gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
