Ending ?


I never understood the ending part. When Edith mentioned that she is going to give the ship to the British museum as a gift and also would request that Brown's work gets properly acknowledged, yet Brown is shown throwing dirt/soil back on the ship.

What i thought that something happened and they thought to close it back or perhaps i am missing something. Can someone explain?

They had to hide that treasure from the dig because World War 2 started and Edith Pretty didn't get to have her fifteen minutes of fame because it was hidden in a subway station to prevent it from being destroyed in bombing. It wasn't even released till nine years after her death.

Do you have a link or something to this? I really want to read further.
