In this pdf file Odyssey Marine outlines their painstaking recovery plan for the British Royal Navy warship, the HMS Sussex. It gives insight into the procedures that OMR undertakes with regards to documenting the shipwrecks that it finds. Although we are most concerned with the Merchant Royal, the Sussex is equally important to OMR and their shareholders. The HMS Sussex is also a shipwreck that is causing tensions between OMR, Spain, and the UK.
The UK and OMR has entered into a partnership to document and recover any treasure that was onboard the Sussex when she sank. This has outraged associations such as the CBA (Council for British Archaeology) and the NAS (Nautical Archaeology Society) which has condemned the partnership from the beginning.
