Not far from Sevastopol in the Balaklava region during the Crimean wars of the mid-nineteenth century, and specifically on the night of November 14 (new style) 1854, during an unprecedented storm sank English sail-screw ship “Prince”, which is therefore called and black, and even gold.
The fact is that on that ship that fateful day was two hundred pounds in gold – it was a salary for the British military stationed at that time in Balaclava. And so since then, neither the ship nor its wealth have been found. Attempts to detect a sunken treasure have been made repeatedly, and not only from, for example, the young Soviet states, the Germans, and the French, and the Norwegians, and even the Japanese with their modern technology tried to find at the bottom Black Sea legendary “Black Prince”. But all is in vain.

And now a new expedition of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences Of Russia together with Sevastopol State University intends to continue searching for the “Prince” and this campaign is slated for summer this year. According to Victor Lebedinsky – an employee Institute of Oriental Studies and a future member of this expedition, the ship, apparently, is at a great depth, which is at least eighty meters. For this reason, “Black prince “still not found – all other expeditions were guided by the fact that the ship sank immediately upon exiting Balaklava Bay – there they were looking. But in 2016, Russian scientists – researchers of the deep sea of the Black Sea – found the remains some ships that were also victims of that terrible storm of 1854, but because there is hope that somewhere there lies and the legendary “Prince”.
