In a hasty departure from Scotland in 1633, King Charles I loaded over half a ton of coronation gold and silver onto a small ferry boat, The Blessing of Burntisland. When a squall struck the vessel as she crossed the Firth of Forth, the King saw his treasure sink beneath the waves. This is the story of a scientist and an historian, and their twenty-year quest to find that fabulous treasure, still lying thirteen fathoms deep.
