GME can't file an admiralty claim. It is in state waters and the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987 gave ownership of all shipwrecks in state waters to the state.
That is not correct. The ASA gives title to abandoned shipwrecks. One has to file an Admiralty Arrest to get a determination that the wreck has been abandoned. Shipwrecks are not considered abandoned by default.
§2101. Findings
The Congress finds that–
(a) States have the responsibility for management of a broad range of living and nonliving resources in State waters and submerged lands; and
(b) included in the range of resources are certain abandoned shipwrecks, which have been deserted and to which the owner has relinquished ownership rights with no retention.
(
Pub. L. 100—298, §2, Apr. 28, 1988, 102 Stat. 432.)
§2102. Definitions
For purposes of this chapter–
(a) the term "embedded" means firmly affixed in the submerged lands or in coralline formations such that the use of tools of excavation is required in order to move the bottom sediments to gain access to the shipwreck, its cargo, and any part thereof;
It is in state waters and the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987 gave ownership of all shipwrecks in state waters to the state.
out of curiosidy,who are the witnesses for the other side?
Did kyle pay the way for John De-bry to go to France for Florida to meet with France behind GME's back without consulting with GME ?
Was Tim Parsons part of this plan ?
Did the secretary of State sanction this conspiracy ?
Was Chuck Meade involved ?
Lets look at just some of the docs on this
Did SFRX get a recovery permit in Lou of a settlement with the State of Florida ?
If those wrecks are so important to Florida's history why doesn't Chuck get them himself? Instead they let the artifacts sit on the bottom slowly rotting away until they will eventually disappear. Doesn't make sense.
