The National Bank of
Manila hired a crew of divers and workmen to operate at Corregidor Island in 1985. The
divers spent two days digging a hole in the mud bottom just off the northwest corner of
the North Dock. In the attempt to find gold, the divers dredged a five-foot deep trench
about nine feet along the bottom parallel to the dock. The water depth here is only about
fifteen feet, but the local islanders still don’t know just how lucky these divers
may or may not have been.*
