What's the Total Value of the World's Sunken Treasure?

 Ship hunting is told to be a semi-tedious but very adventurous job. What do people look for when they look for ships? Treasure. Thousands of ships have sunk to the bottom of the ocean, carrying their costly booty. 
 The team that announced the discovery of the Port Nicholson, a World War II–era British merchant ship found 50 miles off the coast of Maine, says it bore 71 tons of platinum ingots worth about $3 billion. Think of all the other lost ships of myth, and their overflowing treasures. So what is the total value of all this sunken glory? The short and skinny of it is that it is estimated to be 60 billion dollars worth. Impressive to say the least.
