one question comes to mind, if those are of such historic value why the heck they didn't send divers down there to retrieve them all this time?
its almost like they used this guys to get those artifacts withouth lifting a finger or paying a dime
also the article states that none if the wrecks were protected
It is easier to let someone else do all the work and take the risk, then confiscate the goods on dry land. There is quite a tradition of governments taking what they want.
