The Mother of All Swag Piles

I should have studied Marine Archaeology or Marine Law.  Either way I would have hit it big.  That is if I had been on the Sub Sea Research Team which found a sunken WW II British vessel.  Or retained by them to file the claims case in US Federal Admiralty Court

The ship code named "Blue Baron" by the team is said to be holding gems, gold bullion, platinum, and diamonds worth 2.6 billion British Pounds.  I think with the exchange rate that is pushed over the 3 billion mark in U.S. Dollars.

What do you wish you studied instead?

Update: This site claims it is over $4 billion dollars worth of swag.  That is a lot of rum and wenches me hardies.
