Morning Edition, October 24, 2007 · Spain and U.S.-based Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. are in a dispute over an estimated half-billion dollars in gold and silver. The treasure was discovered when Odyssey recovered from a 19th century shipwreck in the Atlantic. The dispute is playing out in a federal court in Tampa, Fla., home to Odyssey, and recently took a dramatic turn when Spain seized and briefly held one of Odyssey's ships.
