Canadian Court Weighs Ownership of Sunken Treasure
The Canadian Supreme Court reviews who owns 400000 in gold and silver coins from the La Chameau, a French frigate sunk near Louisburg around 1725. Alexander Storm claims he does not know the treasure’s location after reclaiming it in autumn 1965. Partners who helped locate it seek a share, with Nova Scotia courts previously awarding Storm custody and potential proceeds.
