Helping local fishermen really works.

I found it drifting in the ocean with the anchor hanging straight down ( I am told the owner was helicoptered off in bad weather) therefore it's abandoned. I am sure if it's insured I will be negotiating with them to pay me some expenses if not I either own it or I will get in touch with the owner and chat to him.....

I am being guided by my salvage company buddy so as long as I secure it for either the insurer or owner I should get or see some benefit

Thanks Archie, here as the salvor I am representing either the insurer ( helping them ) or the owner ( helping them) depending if it's insured or not. Either way one or the others pays the expenses of securing their property.
 

Got the engine and generator on board started today.....
 

I was really surprised the engine started so easily, just cracked the nut on the top of each injector, let a little air out and it fired right up engaged forward and reverse and then shut it down. Gonna run it with a buddy and me following in my boat for an hour when the wind drops. Kicking at the moment.....
 

shrimpers are some of the best at finding treasure wrecks since many of them wrecked in fairly shallow waters driven into shore by storms --and shrimp hang out around these rock piles that are really ballast piles -- an old shrimpers net "snag charts" are often very very worth while

Shrimp fisherman of Crystal Beach
have chanced a wreck, long out of reach
The outer gulf, they journey past
the deep cold water nets to cast.

Their journey starts at break of day.
Their fishing grounds three days away
One day in june their nets arose
entangled in short jagged rows

Were copper ingots once in hold
of merchantman from days of old.
and to this day, when nights get hot
They dream of finding that same spot.

what kind of detector did you use?
 

If the government ( this one or the next) relaxes the permit situation, I will certainly be running searches for shipwrecks from here and TN members get " the family discount" for sure ( charter members that is ha ha)

Jeff, I used the old version of the mark one eyeball and polarized filters over them with a battery that " don't go low" as my fellow Bahamians say ha ha.....

Latest news......owner considering the invoice for salvage, basically he has three choices here ( it's not insured)

1. Pay invoice ( or negotiate it down)
2. Let us keep the vessel ( we would probably need to pay a "title sweetener")
3. If he wants to Play hardball, we all go to salvage court and the lawyers get everyone's money, and probably the boat too sigh......

Winds really gonna blow this weekend, got three anchors out!
 

If they want to play hardball, let it sink before paying good money to a lawyer! Their own damn fault for not insuring it!

I'll up my offer to $200 for it! :tongue3:
