My Great Uncle died on the Laurentic 25th January, 1917. He was Fireman Arthur Charles Hodges, and is buried in St. Mura's Church, Upper Fahan, County Donegal, Ireland.
My Grandfather sailed to America in January 1910 on this "new" vessel. It is weird watching this but thank you for an unusual pleasure. Have any modern divers ever recovered any of the lost gold bars from the wreck?
TheMATTYB1234 It a big wreck (check the video link below) ,but now mostly flattened due to damage from environmental and previous salvage attempts (hundreds of gold bars on board :-) ) visibility was poor on the day due to seasonal plankton bloom th-cam.com/video/EjWpy1IR0S4/w-d-xo.html

Lovely bit of filming.
My Mothers uncle emigrated to New York in January 1910 on this ship, his wife followed with the children 1 month later .
Amazing video. The wreck looked quite small?
