Gold on a Big Ship Guards in Transit on Ocean Liner
A British vessel carries gold in two strong rooms near the captain and provisioning area. Guards monitor two sets of keys and padlocks while kegs of government wealth are moved from trucks to the ship and finally into secure rooms. The shipment totals about 9 000 pounds with freight roughly 12 000 dollars.
