Caught selling stolen cannons and getting fined by the government who stole them in the first place.

Somewhat ironic.

I am sure there is something somewhere on this website about not encouraging people to break the law.

Somebody needs to explain to me how anything that has been forgotten on the bottom of the ocean for 300 years belongs to anyone other than the person who found it.

According to current legal proceedings, it belongs to the people who stole it first, not the people it was stolen from, nor to who found it 300 years later.

I believe it would belong to the insurance company that was forced to pay the claim centuries ago (if they are still in business).
