Treasure hunters pose a problem for underwater archaeological heritage

Even so, they seem to have the same objective: the gold and silver of the Spanish Empire.

Key Points: 
  • Even so, they seem to have the same objective: the gold and silver of the Spanish Empire.
  • A surprise attack by the English wiped out the fleet, which was about to reach its destination.
  • The company Odyssey was sweeping the bottom of the sea in search of the wreck, even though this was a potentially delicate archaeological site.
  • In the end, they were forced to return everything and pay a large part of the court costs.

Archaeology provides context

    • Archaeological treasure hunters pose a problem not only for underwater archaeological heritage but also for heritage pieces and sites located on land.
    • Because of all this, the context in which archaeological remains appear is absolutely key.

The price of underwater conservation

    • The other big difference is that studying an underwater site is prohibitively expensive.
    • To begin with, highly specialised labour is needed, along with diving licences, underwater equipment, one or more boats, and very expensive excavation equipment that can vacuum up mud or sand from the seabed.
    • In land archaeology, shifts of 8 hours or more in length are normal – something unthinkable in underwater archaeology.
    • And making a profit by doing a good job of underwater archaeology is impossible because of the high costs associated with it.

That ship belongs to us

    • In theory, everything that falls into the jurisdictional waters of a given country or the nearby continental shelf belongs to that country, unless there is an international treaty involved.
    • In other words, if an American ship had sunk more than a hundred years ago in Spanish territorial waters, the remains would still belong to the United States – and vice versa.
