Wreck of the Black Prince Found Off Balaklava
The report notes a 60 40 split with the Soviets taking the larger share and Japanese concerns covering all costs. Japan would reimburse the government for the deep sea expedition that located the wreckage miles from the reported storm sink, near the payroll of British troops. About 200 officers and men drowned off the coast. Thirteen Japanese divers and engineers arrived in Balaklava where the Black Prince was buried in sand in October 1925.
