I agree with you (somewhat).<p>In other cases, Spain has won the rights over salvaged treasure from sunken Spanish ships, as the countries they plundered the gold from weren&#x27;t countries at the time, but colonies of Spain (for example: Peru).<p>Sincerely, if this is in International waters, you would think there was a expiry date of shipwrecks and it&#x27;s finders-keepers after, Oh, I dunno, a few hundred years or so.
