BringBackFergy Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/mar/18/san-jose-shipwreck-recovery Who owns it? Columbian Navy?? LOL The British sank the ship, so as successor to Britain, the US should own it. All kidding aside, this is some pretty cool stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s why the US recovery crew/contractor is making a partial claim to it. Pretty specialized chore. Not sure the Columbian Navy is up to the task.

muppy Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) this is a very cool story worth following. My interest perked up when I read that Bolivians were laying some claim. Being they are now a land locked country there has got to be an interesting backstory to that alone for starters. The BLING though. I want to see the jewelry that can be recovered. The Gold. I want TREASURE mateys. I also do care who gets to eventually lay claim to it. Or will they settle . Or is it recoverable at all. Pretty cool find fergy. Not bad. I'll lurk to read the aftermath. Peace Out. m EDIT: I did read to the end and they gave Bolivian back story. Interesting claim but I think they get squat.

Will check back with updates as it progresses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 The other “found on the ocean floor” thread has more but this one will involve math too. The are going to have calculate trajectories, pressure, etc. and then do a LOT of counting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first question is - Is this really a ship or a coral reef that looks like a ship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s no longer qualified to render an opinion on this recovery effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the natives dragged their canoes through here, making ruts, and when filled w/water when rains came, the first canals were born. They polluted with stuff like carcasses of animals, etc... There's probably lead all over that Spanish Galleon. #LearnYourHistory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we let a private contractor handle it. 😆 Plutonium & uranium are natural elements too. 😆 All kinds of toxic natural elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
