The Manila Galleon trade has attracted a great deal of interest from the public and the academic community alike; As Roberto Junco wrote: they are the stuff of legends (Junco in The archaeology of Manila Galleons, pp. 877–886, 2011). Unfortunately, their fame could lead to their demise if treasure hunting activities are not controlled and academic research is not encouraged. If not kept in check, countries are likely to pass laws that will allow salvage companies to exploit underwater cultural heritage for profit. |
