“If its a sunken warship, it belongs to Spain.”

Curious: how far back does this extend in history? To the Armada?

If we find an ancient Roman ship, does it belong to Italy?

I think there would have to be a clear line of succession of regimes.

If the Byzantine Empire (or its successor) still existed, then (under maritime law) a Roman warship would belong to it.
