If each car averaged $50,000 value (its probably higher) - that’s a $200,000,000 cargo at the bottom of the ocean!

The ship was bound for Rhode Island, but caught fire thousands of miles away.

The Capt of the ship got the call,” we heard your cars warranty has expired”.

So many really odd things happening lately. "Approximately 4,000 primarily from Volkswagen Group brands.."
On May 28, 1937, the government of Germany—then under the control of Adolf Hitler of the National Socialist (Nazi) Party—forms a new state-owned automobile company, then known as Gesellschaft zur Vorbereitung des Deutschen Volkswagens mbH. Later that year, it was renamed simply Volkswagenwerk, or “The People’s Car Company.”

I saw one report that the whole cargo claim would be $438 million.
Starting price on almost any of these except some VWs would be $100K plus. Some 2x - 4x that much.

They were headed to Rhode Island. The fire broke out somewhere near the Azores.

“the article states that there were lithium-ion battery powered electric vehicles on board and were suspected of the cause of the fire...”
The article states that the source is unconfirmed but ‘some’ suspect an EV fire.
I think some suspect Russian sabotage.

Raise the ship, take the cars to the scrappers in Missouri! Instead of scrapping them, they will clean them, straighten dents, get them running. Then slip them down into Arkansas where they can be sold through the Auto Auctions without titles.
And for $45 they can get a good clean Arkansas title showing the autos have never been wrecked or flooded, and ONLY driven to Church on Sundays by the car dealer’s grandma.

Based on pics I’ve seen of battery fires, there may not be much usable stuff to rehab there.
