The above sounds like the law would support me getting reimbursed for saving his boat, but would not give me his boat. Am I reading it wrong?
Have you reas Ship of Gold about the USS Central America gold find? They talk quite a bit about the legal process to claim a "lost" vessel.
Correct! Salvage laws aren't "finders keepers", especially when there are vast sums of booty involved! Hell, they'll drag out maritime law books and precedents from the 1700' s if the state thinks they can [STRIKE]steal[/STRIKE] collect taxes from a large treasure find.
