Divers battle sharks while salvaging sunken Merida treasure
Norfolk divers face shark attacks and pressure sickness while pursuing the 4.1 million dollar treasure of the sunken steamship Merida. Harvard diver Worthington Davis leads six others through perilous depths as sharks are driven away with hooks and weapons. Recovery progress shows the wreck partially cleared but treasure remains about forty feet away. Spectators aboard passing liners and the Shenandoah airship visit the site.
