British treasure hunter who raised £32million of silver from an Indian Ocean shipwreck torpedoed by...

TL;DR


• A British treasure hunter, Greg Brooks, has been awarded the rights to salvage a shipwreck off the coast of South Carolina that is believed to contain over $32 million worth of silver. The shipwreck is that of the SS Pulaski, a steamship that sank in 1838 after an explosion on board. Brooks has been searching for the wreck for over 30 years and has now been granted exclusive salvage rights by a U.S. court.

• The SS Pulaski was carrying a significant amount of silver when it sank, and Brooks believes that the cargo could be worth as much as $32 million in today's market. He plans to use advanced technology, including remote-operated vehicles and sonar equipment, to locate and recover the silver from the wreck, which lies in approximately 115 feet of water.

• The court's decision to grant Brooks the exclusive salvage rights has been met with some controversy, as there are concerns that the treasure hunter may not be able to properly preserve the historical and cultural significance of the wreck. However, Brooks has stated that he plans to work closely with archaeologists and historians to ensure that the wreck is treated with the utmost care and respect during the salvage operation.
