So they found this late 15th/early 16th shipwreck off the coast of Namibia....

Debeers found it. It has all kinds of shiny treasure. I have no idea how it is going to be handled, but it is an exciting *find*, to be sure. Apparently all the treasure will go to the state. But what will they do with it? Of course, the press release doesn't say anything about whether or not there is any *ship* left, but that would be really significant to study. Gold is nice but really, what more can we learn about it? ;p

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] fortysevenbteg for the news. I don't think the Namibians are going to uphold his claim for dibs though.
