Re: some one selling old ship wreck stuff on craigs list
Spread the dive wealth around, right? ... FORTUNE favors the brave!
[/quote] I don't really think any of this is about wealth or fortune. We're not talking about gold doubloons here. To each his own I guess, it's a touchy subject. On a related note - I noticed the land is for sale along Hwy. 61 that has the Madiera's anchor on display. It used to be a gift shop and burned down like 10-15 years ago, all that's left is the parking lot, some kinda observation platform and the anchor. Kinda made me wonder what will happen to the anchor when someone buys the land. [/quote] Do you think that Mel fisher was the rightful owner of his find on the atocha? Or do you think that his personal sacrifice of time, money, and loss of life should have been pushed aside so that you could view the artifacts at your leisure on a hand holding dive expedition? We may not be talking about gold in this instance, but it definitely is in the same ballpark! This is even more prevalent with saltwater wrecks. It is only a matter of time before it is completely deteriorated. Where if it is in my dive booty display case it will be preserved forever! :o ;D 8) When I grow up I want to be a treasure hunter! Have you considered purchasing the land and returning the anchor to the ship so I can dive it and see it with the ship?
