Until recently, hunting for treasur

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 endeavlor. 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 caches 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 searched 15 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 half 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 a 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 treasures, the wrecks and their historical artifacts would never be recovered at all.

Preservationists tập trung vào giá trị lịch sử của một con tàu. Họ nói rằng ngay cả một kho báu s đắm tàu không có giá trị tiền tệ cao, nó có thể là một nguồn vô giá của hiện vật lịch sử được bảo quản trong điều kiện gần như đúc. Nhưng khi một đội cứu hộ đã scoured một trang web, có rất nhiều giá trị khảo cổ là bị mất. Các nhà khảo cổ hàng hải người preservationists lo lắng rằng sự thành công của salvagers sẽ thu hút thêm các cuộc thám hiểm kho báu săn bắn và do đó đe dọa còn chưa được khám phá xác tàu. Preservationists đang vận động hành lang của lập pháp tiểu bang để hạn chế hợp pháp tìm kiếm dưới nước và salvages không được kiểm soát. Để truy cập những nỗ lực của họ, người thợ săn kho báu tranh luận rằng nếu không có sự thu hút của kho báu vàng và triệu đô la, các wrecks và hiện vật lịch sử của họ sẽ không bao giờ được phục hồi ở tất cả.
