Actually a quick Google shows they are prob looking for the SS Gairsoppa, sank 300nm SW of Galway bay in WW2 with 7,000,000 ounces of silver on board. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Gairsoppa
Project is being carried out in conjunction with British Government and is utilising this vessel.

Around the same time I seen the Odyssey Explorer on AIS 'running lines' about 30nm of the SW coast.

I wonder who does it belong to?
