At the time of her sinking Donskoi was reportedly carrying 5,500 boxes of gold bars and 200 tons of gold coins with a street value today of $130 billion. That’s more than twice Russia’s 2017 defense budget, which was $61 billion. If the treasure does materialize, the Russian government will receive half of the recovered amount.
The Dmitrii Donskoi was a Imperial Russian Navy armored cruiser, part of the Russia’s Pacific Fleet. Built in St. Petersburg and launched in 1883, she had four eight-inch guns, 14 six-inch guns, and four torpedo tubes. The 306-foot-long Donskoi was steam powered, driven by coal-burning boilers.
