Google Earth and Maps is more than a noveltiy to this guy. Supposably he located a shipwrecked boat laden gold and silver worth around $3 billion. Billion. That’s a lot of booty. But wait, there is more.
He uses the Google tools to keep a watchful eye on his location while he pursues the legal path of gaining permission to dig. It seems that the area in question has been claimed by some estate while this guy says its in open water and therefore free to excavation. No matter how the court battle turns out, it’s great to see Google Maps being used for something other than casual peeping toms and Monday morning time wasting.
good post , I love google map.
Nonsense. If this shipwreck was that easy to find in open water, a lot of other people would have found it by now.
Google Earth does not show what is underwater. And any underwater archaeologist could tell you that.
actually, when you think about it. All he said was in open water. This planet is 75% water and the chances of finding any ship wreck in that open water is actually pretty minimal.
They probably didn’t use it to find the boat, but rather use it to calculate passage and approximate location.
