Chapter 1,330 Going to sea(2/2)
Mel Fisher remembered the book "Treasure Island" that he read when he was a child, which tells the story of a little boy's adventure in finding a sunken ship.
He had this treasure hunting dream when he was a child, why not give it a try now that he is older?
And his wife is also very supportive of his idea.
His wife was one of the first women to learn diving in the history of country M.
As a woman, being able to dive in the water for 50 hours is considered a good achievement.
So Mel Fisher and his wife moved to Florida.
In 1955, the "Treasure Rescue" company was established to search for treasures on sunken ships on the seabed.
Many people may think that hunting for treasure on the seabed may be a zero-investment, high-return job.
Actually it is not.
Salvaging a sunken ship is a very large investment.
A salvage operation may cost millions, or even tens of millions, and even over 100 million is not impossible.
For example, Hua Guo salvaged the Song Dynasty
When the ship "Nanhai No. 1" sank.
It took as long as 9 months.
The cost was as high as 150 million yuan.
Although the scale of Mel's salvage was not as large.
