Mr. Robinson, an enthusiast of underwater navigation, discovered at the bottom of the sea exactly what he was searching for - a sunken ship, which he probed for a total of 300 pounds sterling (400 dollars US), and this turned out to be a profitable deal for him.

Originally, the owner had dreamed of finding something valuable, but only discovered a pile of rusted iron. However, this did not discourage Robinson, who explored the site until he found the sunken metallic cargo.

The waters around Great Britain are home to thousands of different wrecks, and their owners need to follow the rules established by law for ensuring safety and preserving historical heritage.

Robinson probed the wreck of the ship "SS Almond Branch" with a man who bought it from the British government in the 1970s. "SS Almond Branch" was a British cargo ship with assembled armament, launched in 1869, and sunk by a German submarine on November 27, 1917.

The joy of a man from his first immersion into the depths of the sea to check his strange purchases, despite their unclear material worth, was evident. In Great Britain, people can probe the wrecks of ships.
