Spain has launched legal action against US marine explorers over a wreck they have found laden with treasure.

A lawsuit should force Odyssey Marine into identifying the wreck some believe is the Merchant Royal. Spain wants clarification that the treasure is not Spanish and that it was not taken from the supposed HMS Sussex, a British warship, which sank in waters that Spain has claimed as its territory.
