Ill July Master Locksmith in Hampshire Salvage Tale
A spread of sensational claims about illicit salvage from the wreck of HM S Hampshire, in which Lord Kitchener died, centers on a supposed master locksmith who left America with secret orders. He allegedly joined a Kiel based salvage outfit, dove to the sunken Hampshire, recovered £15000 in gold, and claimed the firm would sell its knowledge to Britain. Authorities deny any contract or official knowledge of such salvage, noting the risk and cost of such operations and the unlikelihood of hidden state documents existing in the wreck.
