Then there is the question of the
character of the bottom of the sea. ii
is different in localities In some areas
it is deep ooze which would swallow
up ships and their treasure beyond a
thought OF possible recovery by man.
In other areas the floor of the sea is
hard, being of sand, shell or rock. In
the case of many famous wrecks there
exists precise or approx innate knowl-
edge of the point where they went
down and a general knowledge of the
depth of the sea at that place-a general
knowledge which may quickly be made
exact by applying the proper test.
For countless centuries men have
dreamed and speculated on recovering
the wreck treasures that lie under the
sea. Hundreds of attempts have been
made. but there have been successful
issues to these attempts only in certain
instances. usually when the water in

But as the years have gone by man has
found means Of searching water at
greater and greater depths. There has
been marked mechanical progress
