Finding old millitary ships is so fucked up. Damn guberments get to keep the stuff.

Vendot · 02-02-2009, 12:00 PM

With Gold currently at $900 plus per ounce........ damn they should of just taken it, melted it down and made JUGS of SOLID GOLD and then sold them in some artsy fartsy gold shop in london.

The british crown does not relinquish any rights to their property ever, hence the warship and its content is theirs

Actually it stands for any government. Marine Law does recognize that State owned vehicles (ships) are entitled to sovereign immunity and are not considered to be available for salvage.

Mr Stemm said the wreck was identified as HMS Victory when he raised two extremely rare bronze canons, measuring 12ft and weighing 4 tonnes, which could only have belonged to the historic British vessel.

$1 Billion in Gold Bullion and they decide to raise 2 bronze canons weighing 4 tonnes? What is wrong with these people. Go after the gold!

That is typically how they identify ships. Pretty sure they have not actually located the gold that should of been on it.

Damn what a awesome find.I want to be a treasure hunter

Not if it's in international waters. This was found in the English Channel which is why the govt gets the rights.

They will not give up the location of the wreck or bring up any gold until they know how much of it they get. It's their only bargaining chip.

They should have just kept their mouths shut and slowly dig up the gold. If I was the military, I'd get some of those surveillance satellites of their ship and see what path they took

Oppressive government policies like that will only encourage treasure hunters to do it quietly, this destroying important archaeological relics and priceless historical data.

Fucking lazy greedy bastards!

HorseShit · 02-03-2009, 07:44 AM

I don't believe the people that discover it should get to keep it anyway, maybe a small portion but lets be honest, it doesn't belong to them

I watched some treasure hunter documentary thing on one of the science type channels, can not remember which one - oddly like a week or so ago.
They said on more than one occasion that any military wreck they find belongs to the country of origin and that after identification and such they need to gather permission to continue with bringing any up. This was not only in local waters and well into international waters.
They also spoke of the BS of how all ships need to register and are plotted on electronic maps that anyone can access live. How many other people watch what they are doing so they can possibly swipe any discovery that they make. They had located a wreck near a pretty large shipping lane and got really concerned so they left it for awhile and went to explore something else before heading back. That way they could watch the internet boards and stuff for any extra chatter, in case people got suspicious of them finding something again.
Then nearly everything revolved around the number and size of the cannons. They could figure out by the firing weight of cannons, the class of ship it would of been. Then get even more information from the individual cannons after that.

Honestly have no reason why I even watched that show that day, it just came on in the background while I was working.
