Mostly somewhere to start. Somewhere I can find the name of a ship, look up it's route, and begin searching that area using what techniques I already know.
The question is where do you want to look?
The 3 million number is great for general salvage purposes. But how many of that 3 million were known, or suspected of carrying gold/silver/precious metals, jewels, or other valuable treasure? And at the risk of getting too deep in the weeds, how many shipwrecks in the treasure group are say, within the last hundred years or so? For that matter, how many of the 3 million are in any way, shape or form worth salvaging in a way that would at least break even on the books?
Woah that's awesome 👍 thanks for that info.
Woah, that's incredible. Ummm, anywhere to look, I'm mostly interested the history and challenge of finding one someday. I'm just trying to figure out where to start in the daunting task of shipwreck recovery from someone who has knowledge and/or experience in that arena.
If you're serious about getting into the "Shipwreck" business I can provide some assistance. But first, decide where your interest is most desirable, i.e., wooden sailing vessels or modern era, i.e., WWI and WWII, as an example. Choose precious metals or strategic metals, copper, rare earth, etc. Ask yourself if you have the discipline to stick with it... because it matters. I will be making available thousand of pages of research. Mostly modern, but some 15th through 17th century wrecks. As an example I-52 and ULTRA Intelligence (broken German and Japanese codes) research alone is +/- 5,000 pages. I'll throw in a WWII Japanese shipwreck with 600 gold bars, which you or someone else take it from there.
Cool thanks.
Woah yes absolutely. I have the discipline to study, I lack the funds to search yet but I am very young still. I have full intentions of locating and excavating old shipwrecks at some point, but mostly interested in knowing things that others don't. No interest in sharing my knowledge with the general public btw, just for me and a select few. You're research would be safe with me.
Hey switched phones but this is black jack Ketchum here.
