I wonder why they don't just build a cofferdam around the wreck, since it's in 23' of water. It'd make things much easier to work on and easier to retrieve the LOOT!

Teach was a good Scot gone wrong, but not by far BTW.
Teach was just ahead of his time. In he had lasted until 1776 he might have become a co-founder of the US Navy along with a guy named Jones?
It's not like treasure hunters haven't been known to 'salt' a wreck with a few choice pieces in order to 'prove' their conclusions about a wreck.
