Just a point on the coin and artifact conservation

Silver coins and silver artifacts don't usually fare too well in salt water

The exception to this is when the silver is in contact with a metal of alloy that is "less noble" or further down the galvanic series

In such case, the silver becomes the cathode and the anode degrades far more, protecting the silver in the process

Iron or steel, brass, bronze, and lead are the other metals most likely to be in contact with silver in a shipwreck of this era

ALL of them would protect the silver in a concretion, so any silver found in concretions with those metals or in contact with them (laying on boiler plating or structural steel) will have better preserved silver items

Gold holds a particular allure to shipwreck hunters and treasure enthusiasts because it will retain the pure beautiful luster exactly as the day it came to rest on the bottom of the ocean

Every shipwreck disaster also has a story to be told, both of the events leading up to the wreck as well as the long struggle to locate and recover the surviving artifacts from it

The artifacts and treasure gain value from the story of the wreck just as the story of the wreck gains value from the treasure and artifacts recovered from it

Museum displays, books, and movies relating to the Pulaski should be considered as potential revenue streams of residual passive income
