Like most conflicts, matters between Intersal (the salvage and recovery company who discovered the Queen Anne's Revenge), Nautilus (the site's video crew), and the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources didn't start with rivalry or sides. It started small and friendly, a group of (perhaps unlikely) collaborators pulling together to bring up a shipwreck. No one would have imagined that the relationship would eventually have a strand that ran all the way to the Supreme Court. Almost two years after discovery, Intersal, MRI (a nonprofit Intersal set up to help with recovery efforts), and the Department came together with a memorandum of agreement. The agreement started out by acknowledging that the QAR was "of inestimable historical and archeological value" and establishing that all of the artifacts would remain together, ultimately landing in a museum, where the public could enjoy them. The DCR, MRI, and Intersal planned to be partners in recovering the Queen Anne's Revenge for the life of the agreement, which lasted through 2013, with an option for Intersal to renew for another ten years. https://www.longwayaroundseries.com/back-issues/legal-trouble

A great team of lawyers are always helpful. Seeking sinking treasures is not for me. Good luck to those who are.
