This has been so interesting. I haven't had much luck with a couple of the "old time music threads" I've started recently (as in getting info that I didn't already have) but when it comes to historically fascinating situations, Mudcat is great. Thanks, I've learned a lot. Also, I apologise for the quip about "money to be made" regarding the motivation in raising the ship. Obviously the motivation runs through a very large gamut.
