Treasure Quest: Tom Dettweiler’s Greatest Finds

Shipwrecks! Treasure! Gold, gold, gold! The hallmarks of treasure-hunting are the stuff of adventure stories, more than fun enough to make archaeologists, who are mounting increasing complaints against the pillaging of sunken ships, seem like wet blankets.

But more is at stake than just a few loose doubloons, they say. “The big picture is that a fair amount of humanity’s past we don’t know, and it’s important we don’t let it become lost forever,” says maritime archaeologist James Delgado, head of the Institute of Nautical Archaeology.

Tom Dettweiler has many claims to fame in the shipwreck exploration business and because of this, Kasey-Dee Gardner wanted to find out his most interesting deep-sea discoveries.
