@@StuSaville Speaking as a pirate historian, thats still piracy. Just state-sponsored piracy. Which is why privateers were still charged & executed as pirates by enemy nations. It's like how Spanish, French, Maltese, Barbery & Ottoman Corsairs, despite being members of the military and not mercenaries like Privateers, were tried & hung as pirates. Just because a crime is state-sponsored doesn't change the nature of the act. That kind of moronic rationale is used to justify even worse crimes like genocide.

[@redwallzyl]

It's actually a pretty well studied topic in maritime archaeology. The very clear conclusion is that treasure hunting is both a pyramid scheme and far less good for the economy of the area then preservation and proper excavation. Treasure hunting only ever makes a few rich people richer and leaves everyone else paying the cost and history permanently destroyed.

[@Yung-plague]

It’s a shame, so much of our worlds most amazing history demolished for the greed of one persons single lifetime when it could be preserved for countless lifetimes instead, if personal greed and pride are cast aside.

[@Croz89]

What would you say if the treasure hunting was non destructive, and the local government collected a hefty salvage tax, 50% or something like that? A few billion dollars for the local coffers could do a lot, and to be honest it's not like the treasure itself is going to end up in a museum in most cases, it's just not that noteworthy. A museum is going to be far more interested in the ship itself.

[@redwallzyl]

@@Croz89 The issue is that is not the practical reality. Treasure hunting is incredibly destructive inherently. A proper excavation by professional archaeologists would recover both all the artifacts and the historical data. Also most of the time the governments get almost nothing out of deals as most treasure hunters do not actually make money. At best the government gets a few million in return for an obliterated site which is worthless for archaeology or tourism. Also a bunch of shiny stuff is worthless to a museum because the treasure hunters destroyed all the context that informs the stuff but it does help attract visitors in combination with the actual data which can provide education to the public and academia.

The spices would have been dried and finely crushed, i wonder if they could have triggered a dust explosion, first the black powder blows then the shock wave and fire ignited the spices.

Depends on the location of the magazine and where the stuff was stored. As much as there was, it probably would have been stuffed into every nook and cranny. There's also the fact that a mile is a LONG way to sink. Did the ship break up on the way down? This would also scatter the wreck.

Also, in whichever lands the riches were "extracted" from did the people feel a sense of loss over it [as the Azoreans did when they stopped further recoveries]? Maybe the local elite did receive some compensation; was it fair by today's measures, did they even care? 😆 Intriguing captivating and informative as always, thank you.

Indeed, that's very true. Who were those children? (they were children) Where did they come from? Who loved them? What kind of (short, horrible) life did they live? History is built on such lives (like ours! Probably) but their stories are lost. Sad.

[@michaelcherry8952]

7:50 The writer Andy Weir makes that very point in his book "Artemis" which takes place in the first city (town really) on the moon. In the book, the original moon landing site is so honoured that a huge visitor's center is specially built to allow people to "look but don't touch". Visitors that have the dosh to do an EVA are prevented from getting any closer to the site than they would inside the visitor's center. It is preserved just as it was after the ascent of the Lunar Module back to Columbia. By the way, thanks for the Marvin the Martian reference. Who knew that the English pirates had an Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator? Obviously the story about the powder magazine was just a cover up to hide England's highly advanced (and possibly extraterrestrial) weapons capability!🤣😂

Interesting when you consider we do "mine" more recent shipwrecks from WWI and WWII for low-background steel, which is required for some radiation detecting equipment (though thanks to the test ban treaty, not for too much longer). If we apply the same moral standards to these much older wrecks, then unless it's a particularly notable wreck it should be open season on that treasure. Something like the flags on the moon is clearly fairly unique and very notable, but if there were thousands of them, would it be so bad to take one home to sell off?

[@mrraimundo130]

[@zetijeti]

I think the WW ships are used to advance human knowledge (I hope), while treasure hunting can't

[@Croz89]

@@zetijeti In the end though, those taking the steel are still doing so for profit.

[@Frommerman]

I'd say the difference is that low-background steel has unique utility which can't be replicated through any other means (at least for now), while gold and gems do not. If we want to be able to make precision radiation detection systems (which I will point out you need in things like nuclear reactors, which humanity absolutely needs to be building right now), those historical sites are (or were, at least) literally the only way to make them. But one massive hoard of jewels is pretty much exactly like any other, in terms of what you can do with it: not much, as it turns out. Rubies have no industrial applications, and while gold definitely does we're already using over half of what we've ever dug up to make decorative thread. Nobody needs the contents of those historical sites. Which is why they should remain historical sites.

[@tomfeng5645]

​@@Frommerman low-background steel *can* be manufactured, but it would be significantly more expensive than otherwise mostly due to economies of scale. The bigger difference IMO is going to be in my next comment. If you'd like to know, while some contamination is from the atmosphere, which is only important in extreme-low-radiation requirements and can *still* be worked around, the majority of the contamination is actually from the testing processes, where radioactive elements are used to non-destructively measure the structure/stability of the various foundry components and lax standards means contamination happens. These measures use by-products of nuclear reactions, and so only appear in the post-atomic world. It's perfectly possible to return to old standards or at least reduce contamination in modern methods, but the foundries won't bother spending that bit of extra money to make steel in a way that only a very few users care about. This means only specialty producers in expensive small-scale manufacturing can produce new low-background steel, making it uneconomical to do so when scrap low-background steel is still accessible. Note that much of the illegally scrapped ww2 steel is not even sold as low-background steel since for obvious reasons the source of the steel is not verifiable by the buyer.

[@Strick-IX]

I briefly studied maritime archaeology and history as an undergrad. Shipwreck sites are MAJOR for local tourist industries, researchers, and field experience - worth infinitely more in situ, not only economically, but culturally. For a more in-depth example, anyone who's interested in this topic should check out 'Captain Kidd's Lost Ship: The Wreck of the Quedagh Merchant' by Frederick H. Hanselmann. The author poignantly illustrates how shipwrecks, from a theoretical framework involving early Colonial world systems, prove themselves to be historically indispensable cultural resources - valuable not merely in their contents, but in what they represent - the commercial activities and the sociopolitical implications of their times.

Finders keepers and the only reason people give two cents is because someone else found it. Jealousy is rampant among the human race because without treasure hunters you would never have the opportunity to examine such antiquities .

[@StuffandThings_]

Considering that it does nobody any good just sitting at the bottom of the ocean, and considering that it will likely just continue to sit there degrading and unseen, I think its worth it to get at that all that stuff. Anything historical belongs in a museum, and raw resources like gold bars could be incredibly useful. Its better to make use of gold that was mined and refined hundreds of years ago than it is to rip up some pristine rainforest or canyon to mine and refine more gold today. The only reason that these wrecks will be left alone is because it feels wrong to mess with them, even though the people stealing treasure for the crown or the pirates who sunk them clearly didn't care a whole lot more about the actual stuff save for its value. I think a similar philosophy applies to ancient coins. Once any historical data is gathered from them, and enough is available for everybody to enjoy in museums, its okay if collectors can get their hands on a few and appreciate them instead of just having them buried in dirt for centuries to come. Which is exactly what tends to happen, since coins don't tend to require a massive operation to dig up and often are just found by accident.
