This part of the article you linked pisses me off.

Many archeologists point to guidance from UNESCO, the United Nations agency charged with the preservation of historic landmarks, that deemed treasure hunting a threat to underwater cultural heritage in a landmark convention two decades ago. Today, UNESCO advises that historical artifacts should not be removed from shipwrecks without professional archeologists.

The video I shared the other day addresses this bullshit thinking. Salvors I know loan or donate artifacts to museums, and they’re more than happy to do it. They want the story told, and they want credit for bringing it to life.

These dumbass academics are anti-capitalists, and trash for-profit salvors and call them a threat. The reality is salvors do more to protect underwater heritage than the academics do. They would rather the remains of the wreck stay down there, than for someone to sell treasure to fund the project, even if artifacts are donated.

The academics are a very vocal minority that have saturated bureaucracies in an effort to put an end to the salvage industry, while being paid by the taxpayers. I better hush, but talk about a waste of good money.

BTW….I am invested in a company that had the SS Pacific as a target vessel. Hopefully Jeff and those guys get a good ROI and the red tape comes to an end soon.
