pachapapa Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yesterday, friday a US Judge in Tampa, Florida in execution of the previous Appeal Court dismissal of the Odyssey plaint, ordered the treasure salvaged from the Spanish Warship to be returned to Spain on the 24th february next.Whilst the cargo of a Spanish Vessel sunk by the British in 1804 may seem irrelevant the story is fascinating from a historical and international legal viewpoint.
