        archaeological, historical, scientific, or cultural nature.

            (5) There is a growing concern both in the United States 
        and internationally that advances in science and technology 
        have facilitated access to sunken State craft, resulting in 
        their unauthorized disturbance.

        its maritime heritage by providing for the protection of United 
        States sunken State craft wherever located, foreign sunken 
        State craft located in United States Waters, and encouraging 
        other nations to protect United States sovereignty and 
        ownership of United States sunken State craft located outside 
        United States Waters.
            (7) Sunken State craft indefinitely remain the property of 
        the flag State unless formal action is taken by the flag State 
        to abandon ownership or transfer title to another person.

chapter, the law authorizing compensation for employees of the United
