24 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, September 7, 1967 DIVERS SEARCH FOR SALVAGE Wrecked Ships, Treasure 'Lure Deckchair Explorers By CAROL KENNEDY * LONDON (CP)--The tragic romance of wrecked ships and rumors of sunken treas- wre ere giving deckchair explorers plenty to dream about this summer. Down in the cold, crystal waters and fierce currents off the Cornish Scilly Isles, two riva! teams of divers are trying to locate and salvage the wreck of the Association, an admiral's flagship that gank in 1707 with a reputed treasure of gold plate, silver and precious stones worth anvthing from £1,000,000 to 25,000,000 " Bronze cannon, believed to be French, and a number of gold and silver coins have been brought up by naval div- ers, but the wreck has yet to be identified positively as the Association, flagship of the eccentric Admiral Sir Clou- desley Shovell. He was drowned with all 2,000 on boari when the ship drove onto the Gilstone Reefs one stormy October night. Three other warships in the admiral's fleet were also wrecked. If the Association is found, experts say it could lead to the biggest maritime treasure hunt Britain has ever known. Meanwhile, across the Trish Sea, a former U.S. Navy diver named John Light is engaged in mounting an even more difficult and dangerous sa'vage operation--one of the deepest ever made--on the wreck of the Cunard liner Lusitania, torpedoed by a German U-boat in 1915. Tte Lusitania, second big- gest maritime disaster in his- tory after the Titanic in terms of the 1,198 persons lost, lies on her side on the | sandy seabed 315 feet down in the black, icy Atlantic, 12 miles south of the Old Head of Kinsale on the southwest coast of Ireland. Fer years it was rumored she held - millions in gold, locked in a secret strong- room But Light, who recent- ly bought the wreck for £1,- 000 from the war risk com- pany, dismisses the legend scoinfully. He says the cargo is copper, brass and "other metais" which he declines to specify, but adds tantalizingly that he and his anonymous American backers expect to get $250,000 out of the wreck. The first instalment will come when Light and his co- diver blow off the liner's huge bronze propellers, four of them weighing 58 tons which could fetch up to £19,300. ce i PREPARE NOW TO ENJOY i WINTER WEEKENDS 4 SKIING AND SKIDOO-ING AND FUN ALL SUMMER AT YOUR SILLS -- 3 pcs. 2x8 centres.

Light and his team are using secret equipment based on U.S. Navy experiments that enable divers to remain for days on the seabed There is no possibility of raising the ship. "You might as wel) try putting the Empiie State Building on floats and bringing it over with a tug," scoffed Light. A third salvage operation on a much smaller scale has been proceeding in off-and-on fashion near the Outer Sker- ries, a group of rocky islands off the Northern. Ireland coast. Naval divers have brought up 24 gold coins believed to be from the Dutch ship Deliefde, sunk in 1711. The seas around the British Istes are a_ rich _ hunting- ground for salvage men. Of the 32,000 wrecks in all parts of the world recorded by the British admiralty's hydro- graphic department, 11,000 are Jittering the ocean floor around Britain.

KITCHENER LOST Another First World War wreck besides the Lusitania long rumored to hold a king's ransom in gold is that of the crviser Hampshire, sunk by a mine off the Orkneys in June, 1916. with the loss of Lord Kitchener, then secretary of state for war. Kitchener was on a secret mission to Russia to pump life into the flagging Russian war effort, and it was widely speculated that the Hamp- shire was carrying £}0,- 000,000 in gold as an interest- free war loan to the czar's government, T'wo applications to salvage the Hampshire have been turned down in recent years on the grounds the wreck with its heavy loss of naval and military personnel is the equivalent of a war cemetery and must not be disturbed. Anvane planning 'to salvage a naval vessel--whatever the date of its sinking--must apply to the admiralty, which may in certain cases grant the right to purchase the wreck. In the case of civil- owned ships, the rightful owner must be traced through Lloyd's, the maritime underwriters. If the vessel is a war risk ship, like the Lusi- tania, the insurance company may zgree to sell the hulk. All objects brought up from wrecks around the British Isles must be declared to the loral Receiver of Wrecks, a customs official. The spoils are then divided between the Crewn and the salvor. 16 x 12 flexboard ... $2487 aven" é 2406" 1 Its a week to celebrate! *EATON'S Glove Event '67 20% OFF! RICH LEATHERS Leather gloves!
