[00:03.72]A lost ship
[00:12.22]Did the crew of the Elkor find what they were looking for? Why?
[00:20.38]The salvage operation had been a complete failure.
[00:24.13]The small ship, Elkor, which had been searching the Barents Sea for weeks, was on its way home.
[00:31.40]A radio message from the mainland had been received by the ship's captain instructing him to give up the search.
[00:39.69]The captain knew that another attempt would be made later,
[00:43.66]for the sunken ship he was trying to find had been carrying a precious cargo of gold bullion.
[00:51.40]Despite the message, the captain of the Elkor decided to try once more.
[00:57.54]The sea bed was scoured with powerful nets
[01:00.62]and there was tremendous excitement on board when a chest was raised from the bottom
[01:06.71]Though the crew were at first under the impression that the lost ship had been found,
[01:11.62]the contents of the chest proved them wrong.
[01:15.00]What they had in fact found was a ship which had been sunk many years before.
[01:21.11]The chest contained the personal belongings of a seaman, Alan Fielding.
[01:26.59]There were books, clothing and photographs,
[01:29.81]together with letters which the seaman had once received from his wife.
