[QUOTE=Emrobu;190938]Pretty sure that won’t happen. Their museums are already stuffed to bursting with stolen artifacts. Tabarnak. Doesn’t Sweden or Denmark have something you’d like to loot? It’d be less trouble for you.[/QUOTE]
I’m not into looting, or are you equating me with all of Norway? If so, I’m not a good example, having spent most of my life outside Norway.
It appears to me that to salvage a wreck that nobody in Canada is interested in (except as fire wood in the early days) is far from looting.
On the other side, HMS “Terror” and “Erebus” is a major part of British history and less so of Canadian.
I don’t think that ownership of the wreck has changed from the Royal Navy to the Canadian or Nunavut Government.
If the wreck is salvaged, the Owner has the right to claim his property against paying due and fair salvage fee to the salvor. If it remains in place, it is still the property of the original Owner, unless sold or transferred to another entity.
In the case of Maud the group behind the salvage had bought the ownership to the wreck. How can you loot something that belongs to you??
