Welcome to the board. NC is known for its wrecks too...

You know, I saw this movie prop tied up 04/2009 down in Oak Ridge.

Now I know what you're going to do with it.

"In tack", you say. The pod people will be swarming all over it. Don't forget to sell the Chinese import cheap plastic crap, like the swords and peg legs.

Count me in.

fyi: Honduras like most countries, including the USA has antiquity laws which require a permit from the Honduran Institute of History and Anthropology to explore and excavate on both terrestial and marine sites.

Even if you have a legitimate permit to archaeologically excavate a shipwreck or a terrestial site, you cannot remove the artifacts from Honduras. Artifacts can be owned in private collections by Hondurans and legal residents.

The political protests which have taken place on Roatan this year and which effectively, for all practical purposes shut down the island completely; had to do in part with legal, social and economic violations of Honduran law by foreigners.

Before diving on this wreck or any other colonial period shipwreck, located in Honduran territorial waters I would want to see a legitimate permit.

I would suggest due diligence and diver beware...

As RoatanMan quotes...

"I'm hiding in Honduras, I'm a
desperate man, send lawyers, guns
and money- the ***** has hit the
fan" -Warren Zevon

and believe me you will need lawyers, guns and money if you get caught!

Perhaps, "diving a recent find wreck with 40 cannons in tack?" is just a come on! If it is, please disregard this post.

Doc- I've been on Roatan a whole lot, maybe almost two years accumulated in total by now, but you have lived there for 39 years. :blinking:

I know the island pretty good, but where is Tack? Is that a coastal town down around where they found them crystal skulls ?

I know where " 'da Ticket is" but I never heard of " 'da Tack".....lol

Have a good evening Pirates of 'da Carib!
