Russian cruiser that sank in 1905 found near South Korea
A Russian warship that sank 113 years ago has been found off the coast of a South Korean island, salvagers say.
The Shinil Group say they found the Dimitrii Donskoi off the coast of Ulleungdo island, east of South Korea.
Companies have claimed in the past to have found the wreck, amid historic rumours of treasure on board.
The cruiser was scuttled by her crew in 1905 after Japan's victory in the Battle of Tsushima - a key moment of the Russo-Japanese War.
