Summary

Description
English: A Sunken Ship That Earned a Fortune
How the Walküre was scuttled, bought for $29,000, raised and sold for $825,000

Steamer Walküre, sunk by Germans at Papeete, Tahiti
The vessel was only slightly damaged, so her captors opened her seacocks and sunk her to prevent further attack. Only her two masts, stack and flying bridge remained visible above water.
