Until recently, hunting for treasure from shipwrecks was mostly fantasy, with recent
technological advances, however, the search for sunken treasure has become more popular as a legitimate endeavor This has caused a debate between those wanting to salvage the wrecks and those wanting to preserve them
Treasure hunters are spurred on by the thought of finding catches of gold coins or other valuable objects on a sunken ship One team of salvagers, for instance, searched the wreck of the RMS Republic, which sank outside the Boston harbor in 1900 the search party, using side-scan sonar, a device that projects sound waves across the ocean bottom and produces a profile of the sea floor, located the wreck in just two and a half days Before the use of this new technology, such searches could take months or years The team of 45 divers seached the wreck for two months, finding silver tea services, crystal dinnerware, and thousands of
bottles of wine, but they did not find the five and a hafl tons of American Gold Eagle coins they were searching for
Preservationists focus on the historic value of a ship They say that even if a shipwreck’s treasure does not have a high monetary value, it can be an invaluable source of historic artifacts that are preserved in nearly mint condition But once s salvage team has scoured a site, much of the archaeological value is lost Maritime archaeologists who are
preservationists worry that the success of salvagers will attract more treasure-hunting
expeditions and thus threaten remaining undiscovered wrecks Preservationists are lobbying their state lawmakers to legally restrict underwater searches and unregulated salvages To counter their efforts, treasure hunters argue that without the lure of gold and million-dollar treasure, the wrecks and their historical artifacts would never be recovered at all
