 Later that year, on 30 August, the dive-support vessel "Stephaniturm" journeyed to the site, and salvage operations began in earnest.Leading the operation undersea, by mid-September of that year Jessop was able to salvage from the wreck over $100,000,000 in Russian gold bullion—431 bars out of 465—making him the greatest underwater treasurer in history.His autobiography "Goldfinder" written in 2001 tells the story of Jessop's life and the salvage of such underwater treasures as HMS "Edinburgh".
