I don’t get how a retrieving primitive radio transmitter sitting in a ship which sunk 110 years ago, is 12,500 below the surface and 400 miles from the closest land is really going to tell them anything.

Clearly they are after something else. As I recall the safe with diamonds wasn’t near the radio room. Wonder what they want to “discover”.

Yes but such contrived mystery makes for a better television documentary.

They will pull the tapes.

I’m not familiar with that particular model but old comm devices used to use wax cylinders or paper tapes to record communications for later review. Realistically any paper is long since dissolved.

There’s some things they may determine but they’re likely to ruin it by removing it too.

They might be able to pull some of the log files off the hard drive.

Who cares. It’s their money they’re spending.
