RMS REPUBLIC
THE WORLD'S MOST ANTICIPATED
One Ship.One Legend.One Chance to Rewrite History.
Approximately 50 miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts, resting in 270 feet (82 meters) of water, the RMS Republic has remained one of the world’s greatest maritime mysteries for more than a century.
Our expedition is producing the most comprehensive 3-D photogrammetry survey ever created of the wreck. On March 1, 2027, we will release the RMS Republic Treasure Map™ an interactive digital model allowing anyone in the world to explore the wreck and see the locations where historical evidence suggests the legendary gold cargoes may still be concealed.
