I never understood why someone in the modern age would cry over someone who lost their lives hundreds of years ago and never knew them. People are strange I tell ya.

My dogs and I looked for lost treasures on our walks. We found lost silver and gold jewelry and many stones. Now I have a large collection, but those dogs died. My new dog is now good on the leash and we have only found a few things.

I learned just a couple of days ago that my 3rd-great-grandfather, John Bennett, was a sea captain -- a master mariner who lived right there at the River Dee, from whence the Royal Charter was launched. According to my family records, John launched it, and his wife Jane christened it. She had smashed a bottle of champagne against the side of the ship for "good luck." Regarding Edward Bennett: the brother of that 3rd-great-grandfather of mine (my 3rd-great-granduncle) is named Edward Bennett. He also was a master mariner. I kind of doubt he ever was on the Royal Charter, but he does have a connection to it. (I know he did not die on the ship, at least.) The year, the geographical location, and Edward's occupation all line up. That snuff box may or may not have been his. If he wasn't on the ship for that fateful voyage, perhaps he had gifted the snuff box to a friend who did go on the ship.

because it's landed on British territorial waters and there's a specific law about shipwreck and salvage from thousands of years ago. All modern maritime salvage and recovery laws are similar to that all over the world. Legally the Crown through the Receiver of Wreck has to administer all of the wreck on UK territorial waters. If it's from abroad, the finders can keep it after 1 year of unclaimed findings. But back then Australia was a British territory and British Dominion. All Australian were British. Therefore the Crown through the Receiver of Wreck by law, can keep it after 1 year of unclaimed possession after its finding. Since it's not from abroad. If you can prove that you're the owner or the beneficiary, you can get it from the Receiver of Wreck.

Henry Ford had an internal security(thug) named Harry Herbert Bennett who was involved in the attack of the Union organizers on the infamous Rouge River bridge incident, he was a boxer with some maritime experience. This occurred in Detroit/Dearborn Michigan. May be just a coincidence and reveals the dark side of taking care of business

I watched the whole thing because it was an interesting bit of history. But I agree, the drama was more created than real, and to much leaping to conclusions. Just one example, the ring "likely belonged" to that one little girl? Well maybe it did, but the word "likely" was a bit strong, it could have just as "likely" belonged to one of the other little girls. Or it may have been a gift that someone was bring home for someone.
