Has anyone expressed that they wanted to identify the shipwreck?
Doesn't Odyssey claim their project is early to mid-17th century not 18th century?
Where is this claim, or any statement by Odyssey on the event?
BUT isn't this over? Hasn't the govt denounced that it's Cypriot artifacts?
It has been over a week since the ship was detained and the recovery seized. IF there was a permit, what hasn't this been sorted out?
Here is a blast form the past, or at least the last recovery:
Press release: Odyssey website.

Odyssey saying "we have a permit" is the same as "where our compensation rights are secured and legal issues resolved prior to cargo recovery," ?
