Ok, I get the idea of protecting graves, but seriously, the people involved ARE dead, they are not going to be happy, or sad, either if their bones are rustled a bit. I think that the recovery is fine, and would be fine either way. If there’s something of value down there, ask the recovery crew to be careful, and sensitive, and let them at it. I’d say that silver, gold, or bricks and mud. In this case, the value of the cargo makes it worth the effort to recover it, so more power to them. It’s not like those bones might not be disturbed by all of the little fishies anyway.

That’s the way I look at it.
Aircraft have been excavated when there was always a chance of human
remains being found. An example being the excavation by Time Team of
the Spitfire flown by Sergeant Paul Klipsch from No. 92 Squadron.
Although it wasn’t admitted on the programme, remains were recovered.
As long as these things are handled with some sensitivity, I don’t see a
problem. What I’ve seen of Treasure Quest, when they do find human
remains, everything stops until they get permission to continue.
