Mercury - $583.00 per 76 lb flask, N.Y.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////

70 tons/140,000 lbs = 1842 76 lb flasks x $583 = $1,073,886

It sure won't be cleaned up for the rights to the mercury....

I watched a show on divers pulling up stuff from a Spanish galleon. They thought they were being clever by
spooning mercury into a scuba tank (72 or 80?) that had the valve removed.

I don't remember what the actual, uncompressed volume of a tank is, but the weight of the salvaged mercury was
more than the winch could handle.

That had to split up the haul.

That's a lot of Mercury. A Mercury is a good car...
