The Pacific is a steamer that sank in the Pacific Ocean in 1875, on the current western border between Canada and the United States. There were more than 270 passengers and gold on board: the equivalent of 9.4 million euros of precious metal. The wreck was recently found. And the descendants of the shipwrecked have the right to claim what is due.
