SS Mantola (1916)

(

)

... that SS Mantola sailed for less than a year before being sunk in 1917 while carrying around 600,000 ounces of silver?

It would be nice (but not required for DYK) if the type of "ounce" could be identified so that a metric conversion could be provided. It is most likely to be a troy ounce, since it's used to measure silver, but the source cited in the article does not specify. --Orlady (talk) 17:24, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
