bought in 1762 by the East India Company for use in a military campaign in Spain, but sunk during its crusade. Crusade?

Probably just the cheap rum they used to give sailors for their daily ration.

Wouldn’t it have to be in really cold water for the rum to be preserved?

A 1651 document from Barbados stated, "The chief fuddling they make in the island is Rumbullion, alias Kill-Divil, and this is made of sugar canes distilled, a hot, hellish, and terrible liquor."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rum

But after sitting on the bottom of the ocean for a couple hundred years, wouldn’t the casks have been eaten by sea creatures? Wouldn’t the rum be, at the very least, heavily contaminated with seawater?
Or are we talking well-sealed bottles?

I wouldn't drink it But I would whisper nothings to it, take baths with it,
and roll the barrel down the street on moonlit nights.

"bought in 1762 by the East India Company for use in a military campaign in Spain, but sunk during its crusade"It is intriguing that a private company went to war against Spain in South American.

100,000 “rare” coins. Hope they weigh 4 ounces each for those valuations.

It’s not a warship. When she was sold to the East India Company, it ceased to be a commissioned warship and became a merchant ship. This is a critical point in respect to the salvage rights and sovereignty ownership.
The rum would have certainly been in barrels, not bottles, and therefore is likely long gone. The ship has great historical value and may have some value if it has coinage or bullion on their manifest.
