I was under the impression that there was not a recovery permit issued for this site yet because the state was requiring that the ballast pile be found first, or has that changed?
So, actively working means..... Surveying and limited recovery? Or full-blown recovery with blowers and artifact division with the state?

ivan salis said:a smallish vessel ( like a bilander) might not have any ballast or a very small amount if enough "heavy" cargo was carried upon it . (ballast -- valueless or low value dead weight like rocks or --wore out iron cannons or lead ) was only carried to give" bottom weight" to keep the vessel stable from rolling over in rough weather--- if a valuible "heavy" cargo could be used instead -- ballast was not needed or wanted --- basic economics of sea going 101 --- carry a paying cargo over a non paying one) -- thus the state might have folks searching for something that was not there in the first place. (a ballast pile)--
**** only when the state can "prove" beyond any doubt that the vessel indeed carried ballast rocks , should they be able to "require that ballast rocks be found" to issue recovery permits.
