<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tall Paul, post: 26053492, member: 114635&quot;]In the book <i>Ship of Gold</i> Thompson describes the experiments that were performed to discover the best way to salvage the coins without damaging them. They enclosed the coins in latex that was then bought to the surface. The experiments were to find the best formulation for the latex to solidify at the temperatures and pressures where the treasure was located. A block of latex was created and then the coins were removed after the block of latex was brought to the surface. Thompson was very innovative in designing and engineering the technological systems and robotics without which recovery of the treasure could not have happened.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
