a little-known niche of maritime law that would permit the arrest of anyone else who tries to poach his watery bounty. Very cool. Though, it might work on pirates, but not on politicians.

That $8000 in gold coins is worth about $720,000 in today’s money with the current price of gold. Not a bad haul.

Good Read. Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea by Gary Kinder.
Shipwreck in 1860’s off N. Carolina coast with the first minted gold coins from SF mint (49ers Calif. gold)— lots of Gold — very readable adventure. Stick to the end ‘cause when the insureance companies step in (the last chapter) a new adventure begins and ends quickly.
