<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1383452, member: 13650&quot;]The find that put Oddysey on the map was the SS Republic off the Georgia coast.&nbsp; If anybody is interested in learning more about them, they put a book out called &quot;Lost Gold of the Republic&quot;.&nbsp; It tells the story of that salvage.&nbsp;&nbsp; Pretty interesting book.&nbsp;&nbsp; They used to have a show on tv.&nbsp; Some foreign governments harassed them with their naval ships and planes because they felt like they were intruding&nbsp; on their territory.&nbsp;&nbsp; Almost like somebody metal detecting on somebody&#039;s property without permission.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; They&#039;ve had to invest a lot of time and money into these projects.&nbsp; Nothing was stopping any foreign government from seeking out these wrecks themselves.&nbsp; But now that a president has been set, I don&#039;t know why they would.&nbsp; They can just confiscate whatever the private sector invests their work and time into.&nbsp; &nbsp; I think our govt screwed them over royally on this one.&nbsp; &nbsp; I half wonder if they&#039;re going to want to keep doing what they&#039;re doing after this?&nbsp; &nbsp; They can give their projects code names but when there&#039;s a big find, there&#039;s no keeping anything a secret.&nbsp; &nbsp; It&#039;s possible they just won&#039;t bring anything back to US soil.&nbsp; &nbsp; Only problem is, there&#039;s no reputable TPGs or NCS equivalent for their stuff in South America.&nbsp; &nbsp; That may be half the reason they brought it back to the US.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The company is traded on the NYSE.&nbsp;&nbsp; I always thought it&#039;d be interesting to own some but I bet this debacle doesn&#039;t do a thing for their share price.&nbsp; There&#039;s a lot of uncertainty for the future now.&nbsp; Who knows if they can even absorb a loss like this?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
