Can a helicopter ...
Lift a ship full of gold? Maybe it's a stupid question. I dunno. Seems like it would be a LOT of weight.

shareThe helicopter in the movie was a Erickson S64F ‘Skycrane’
Its Max Weight On Hook is: 25,000 lbs or 11,340 kg
Not that there exist helicopters that can lift Twice that like the Mi-26T.
According to wikipedia the Magellan ship that Broke down in Moluccas weighted around 110 tons.
Tl;Dr: The ship itself (without cargo) would weight around 10 times more than the helicopter in the movie could lift. There is no helicopter that could lift that ship.
