Finding a sunken treasure ship is one of the most exciting undertakings of a treasure hunter’s life! However, it isn’t always easy to reach the treasure or the ship. In that case, your best bet is to try and raise the ship off the ocean floor. To do that, you will need this abbreviated guide.
Step 1: Make Sure the Ship isn’t About to Fall into a Deep Ocean Ravine
The last thing you want to do is find a treasure trove and then accidentally knock it into an ocean trench! Make sure that the ship is not seconds away from slipping into a deeper part of the ocean floor. If it’s safe where it is, your next step is to use boat salvage lift bags to raise it to the surface of the ocean.
Step 2: Use Boat Salvage Lift Bags to Raise the Treasure
These modern miracles of marine science have been a real boon to any oceanographer or ocean explorer. You place the bags under key points of the structure you want to lift upward, inflate the bags with air, and the bags do the rest. Just be sure to secure the bags to sturdier parts of your treasure ship so that it doesn’t break apart as it rises. Use enough of the salvage lift bags around the ship so that when it breaks the surface of the ocean, it will just gently bob along until you can haul it onto a much larger rescue ship.
