Not a fan of shallow water wrecks, but……..

this is very interesting.

Pritchett recently won a legal battle for a salvage award with France and Florida for a wreck he found in 2016 in state waters, though I’m sure it will be appealed. But good for him.

Pritchett has proven himself to be a shipwreck finding machine.

In 2014, FDOS and GME entered into six agreements gov- erning salvage activity for six different, three-square mile areas off the coast of Cape Canaveral. On August 14, 2015, FDOS and GME entered into a seventh agreement—designated as Permit No. 2015-03—authorizing GME to survey another designated three-square mile area off Cape Canaveral and to locate and report any ship- wreck sites discovered. GME discovered five separate shipwrecks and six historic shipwreck sites in this designated area, and GME’s mapped conclusions of the area were provided as part of its report and request to FDOS for approval to proceed with recovery. GME also excavated small artifact items (and took photos and videos as identification of other monuments) from one of the shipwreck sites. GME provided FDOS with the photos and videos. And FDOS directed GME to submit the location coordinate infor- mation incident to the agency’s oversight and inventory of histori- cal resources division. According to GME, the coordinate infor- mation would remain confidential and would be commercially used only by GME.

Now any treasure laden ship is going to belong to a sovereign nation, so it will be interesting to see this play out. If Bobby says there’s 4 wrecks and he knows the location, then I think he can be trusted.

Just not sure about the legal path to title.

We’ll see.

TSR as previously set out, has new shipwreck treasure areas with researched treasure wreck sites off the East Coast of Central Florida, which consist of four suspected identified wrecks of treasure laden vessels from the period from 1500's to mid-1600s. These are outside of the three miles of State of Florida waters, meaning no state permits are required, off the Cape Canaveral and Melbourne, Florida. TSR will use its own vessel and crews for such search and recovery.
