Odyssey brings home the booty

Article - Posting | Exploration | Modern | Salvage | Submarine and Undersea Postings | USA

Not too many details on this, but Odyssey Marine Exploration has brought an estimated 500,000 coins into the United States from a shipwreck in the Atlantic.  The company isn't describing the wreck or its location but there are clues that the treasure may be from a 400 yr old ship sunk some 40 miles off the southwest coast of England.  That puts it in international waters, and Odyssey has a court order granting them rights to salvage.

Russian Submarine K-129 and the CIA Project Jennifer

Submarine | Cold War | Russia/Soviet | Salvage | Submarine and Undersea Postings | USA
This is probably one of the best stories of the Cold War. A sunken Soviet missile sub that may have been hijacked, a possible rogue missile launch against Pearl Harbor, and the Navy and CIA scrambling to find and recover the sub. Oh and there's an eccentric billionaire. I don't know if it gets any better especially since it seems to be mostly true. :-) Here are some links with a fair amount of reading and some good illustrations of the unusual and classified hardware involved in this story.
