ART

Divers say they are recovering thousands of dollars worth of jewels and art every day from the British steamship Medina, sunk by a German submarine during World War I. Though the passengers survived, the ship and crew went down--along with treasures believed to be worth millions of dollars. Britain’s Independent Television News reported Wednesday night that the wreck might contain highly valuable 2nd-Century Indian bronze Buddha figures. The ship was carrying gifts from Indian maharajahs to British royalty and jewels and Indian art treasures owned by Gen. Sir Charles Carmichael Monro, the army commander in India (then a British possession) from 1916 to 1920.
