    by money found and invent the technology as you go doing something that hasn’t even been dreamed of, let alone built?

    hands down Tommy Thompson and the SS Central America…..finding and then documenting and carefully carefully carefully raising the treasure from the wreck…from nearly 6,000 feet down!……..the treasure which was most of the 1849 gold discovered in California…. is a feat of nautical archeology, engineering and daring do that would have left Indiana Jones breathless in admiration.

    How much in $? Unfortunately the bloodsucking lawyers have it tied up in court the last twenty years….but just how much is tons and tons of raw gold, gold bricks and thousands of minted un-circulated US gold $ 20 pieces worth? Stay tuned……and meanwhile google "America’s Treasure" and the book "Ship of Gold"…..

    To take nothing away from Mel FIscher and his ……what, 15 years?…operating on a shoestring and loosing his son on the search..but Mel eventually through sheer determination and blind luck stumbled across the Atocha and then took the equivalent of a backhoe to it……

    The biggest shipwreck ever has been the Bush Administration. Oh, I’m sorry, that’s a trainwreck!

    In 1985 Mel Fisher found the Atocha and Santa Marrgeritta shipwrecks with a combined treasure worth 450 million dollars.

    The "Atocha" by far. They have taken 100s of millions off the ocean floor already, and there is still plenty down there.
