Disclaimer: I am a Spaniard<p>This is going to be a long fight because traditionally those ships and its content belong to the owner. There are some international rules that some countries have agreed on (UNESCO): <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;portal.unesco.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;ev.php-URL_ID=13520&amp;URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&amp;URL_SECTION=201.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;portal.unesco.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;ev.php-URL_ID=13520&amp;URL_DO=DO_TO...</a>. Colombia hasn&#x27;t signed that, but it doesn&#x27;t mean they shouldn&#x27;t obbey.<p>I don&#x27;t know about this topic, so I won&#x27;t add much more. However I wouldn&#x27;t be so ingenous to think that the full treasure belongs to Colombia or to Spain. I suppose they will end up in international legal figths and they will end up agreeing on sharing the treasure. In any case, they CAN&#x27;T sell it (I believe) so it&#x27;d be as worthy as the tickets of the museum. It&#x27;s more of a patriotic fight than a practical fight.
