Holland reports a new sand salvage method for the Lutine gold cargo wrecked near the island in 1799. The frigate Lutine carried several million dollars in gold and specie, with over 400 lost in the storm. Fifty feet of sand had thwarted prior attempts, but the new technique shows promise to recover the treasure.
Half a million dollars and the ship's bell are now at Lloyds in London. Divers first worked the Lutine wreck but a Dutch engineered system uses hydraulic pressure to grab objects from sand through a driven tube and bottom grapplers. The apparatus operates in mild seas and, despite three days of trials yielding no gold bars, claims indicate the location is struck and the rest of the cargo, valued between 6 million and 10 million dollars, may soon be recovered.
