http://thestar.com.my/lifestyle/story.asp?...86&sec=featuresAUTHOR Clive Cussler is the founder of the non-profit US National Underwater and Marine Agency (Numa), a group that searches for shipwrecks of historical significance.
The group does not salvage any artefacts; they simply note the wreckage location and turn their information over to appropriate agencies for further study and planning.
In The Sea Hunters II, Cussler and his teams search for 300 years’ worth of wrecks as varied as La Salle’s 17th century flagship, a dirigible lost in a storm off the New Jersey coast in 1933 and the famous PT-109.
