Re: AW: [PSUBS-MAILIST] sunken treasure

Glen as part of the federal arrest you have to notify anyone still alive who would have a claim we also have taken it one step further in that we have offered surviving families the right to see the operation, but the only cargo we are interested in was owned by the USSR, but like the Spanish wrecks now the Aztec Indians have filed claim because the Spanish wow claims the ship wreck there?s stole the gold from them so where does it stop, there is more gold on the bottom of the ocean than in all the banks of the world combined

I agree with you,but most Salvors I know will on discovering a wreck remove as much of the quick money items in the initial dives to cover overheads and lenghty court proceedings wich usually follow,before declaring the wreck and trying to obtain salvage rights.

I believe that any artefact that the government wants it should pay the salvor good money for ,it should allso supply a historian at the governments expense and any other additional equipment and personel for the monitoring and documenting purposes ,but must not unreasonably obstruct the salvos from performing his task , diving days are usually limited.I think this would encourage Salvor's to work with governments.Wouldn't it be nice if the company that is performing the salvage gives a percentage of the profits or artefacts to the family or families of those who's lives where lost on that perticular wreck , should they allso not be given more authority in the salvage decissions I wonder.

Certainly something like the "Grotte Cosquer" should be protected against vandels.

http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/archeosm/en/cosq.htm

But various wrecks that are not nessesarily of historic value should be open to salvage. It would help propel more development in submarines by giving an extra monetary boost to those involved in subs. That would in turn help propel other ventures. We should lobby Congress !!

One man's junk is another man's treasure... One see's a golden spanish coin, another a sizable piece of gold.
