2 centuries-old shipwrecks found off Singapore

This is cool! The first shipwreck found dates to the 14th century, while the second shipwreck dates to the late 18th century. There are a few pictures in the article, and the porcelain pieces look to be in excellent condition. Just keep in mind that these are shipwrecks, so they belong to Spain, and only Spain...

Spain owns every shipwreck not already legally owned by someone else, in all oceans, seas and some rivers including wrecks of canoes capable of holding more than 7 people, shipwrecks dating to before Spain existed and spaceship wrecks that have yet to be wrecked. It's the law, man. Look it up.

There is a thing called Admiralty Law.
From Google: The law of finds and the laws of salvage are key aspects of admiralty law that provide understanding for how a shipwreck's ownership is established. Salvage laws allow for salvors to take possession of a wreck to save cargo and then negotiate with the vessel's owners for payment.

No he is jokingly referring to how Spain has a long history of contesting any and all shipwrecks that have even the slightest connection to Spain. Regardless if the entire cargo was just stolen from someone else and the Spanish only had possession of it for a short time before the ship sank never have even reached Spain.

Recently I've noticed quite a few Native American produced T-shirts and posters poking fun at Christopher Columbus discovering America. Sometime I'll save you a couple to post.
