Before I get my unmentionables in a knot I'd like to know if those guys were looting Spanish territorial waters. If they're pirates, the Spaniards can have 'em.

Who gets to adjudicate where in perdition they were?

Good morning.
“...if those guys were looting Spanish territorial waters.”

What are the laws concerning salvage? Is salvage really looting, or are governments engaging in theft when they demand treasure recovered from the bottom of the sea?
