How much gold is that? And how big is that tanker?
Gold is an extremely dense material, weighing 19.3 tonnes per cubic metre (that's 1205 pounds per cubic foot), while mineral oil weighs only 0.8 tonnes per cubic metre. So, my estimate would be that the tanker would be built to carry about 16 tonnes...

I don't know. I have a feeling that there's something fishy with that photo.
