No matter how many legitimate claims are made, Odyssey will be awarded the majority of the loot, Gordon said. Under international law, awards of undersea finds are measured under a concept that benefits the finder, Gordon said.

"The people who lost the property aren't going to get a high score," he said. "I don't think they're going to be able to demonstrate that they've made a lot of effort and gone to great expense and risk to look for it."

No excrement Sherlock.   Same old story, no claimants want to know or to invest, until it's found, then everyone wants a piece of it.  Spain, Peru, distant relatives of merchants, sheesh.

And as always, never a shortage of lawyers getting involved


Let's hope Odyssey prevails

i think the treasure should go to whomever put the money and time in to find it. if it belonged to someone else then why didnt they look for it. its not like it sunk yesterday.they knew it was down there somewhere...yet they chose to do nothing but wait until someone else spent the time and money to find it and then they want to claim it...and of course that means more money for the lawyers

Perhaps I am wrong, but this "grave site " thought on wrecks goes a bit too far. I doubt that a single sq meter of Europe isn't one, yet we continue to build homes, factories, roads, mine, and plant crops on them. Do we just stop and remove all ? Why are ship wrecks so special? The salvage of a valuable cargo benefits many while just sitting there reverting bk to nature does nothing for anyone.

I agree. Ancient land burial sites are routinely excavated whether it's Celtic, Egyptian, Mayan, or even much later as in Plague (1600's) burial sites as I saw on one of the Knowledge Network shows the other week. Bones are often even removed from sites and put in boxes in museum storerooms.

If the history is more recent, it seems to change the way people think, although I don't know what the exact time frame is before it's "OK" to dig the site. 100 - 200 years seems to be the time.

These 300-400 year old ships have no human remains whatsoever left today, and I don't believe they should receive the 'sacred grave' consideration applied by some.

You are right saturna. Another myth is that the Titanic is a grave site. Did you see the movie? Not one single body went down with the ship. They were all standing on the decks with life preservers on when Titanic sank. The bodies all floated away. Maybe we should designate the entire North Atlantic a grave site.
What do we do when there is a fatal car wreck on the interstate? Do we build a memorial and make it off limits? No, they haul the bodies and wreckage away and resume driving over it!
