Not in favour of merging with treasure diving, ship salvage is not very related, there is just a passing kmention of diving in the article. 18:00, 12 June 2006 154.5.132.51
Disagree to merge MARINE SALVAGE with TREASURE HUNTING. Marine salvage is an industry/activity sector that provides commercial services for the world's maritime and insurance communities. Marine salvage companies are engaged in marine casualty response, pollution defense, wreck removal, cargo recovery, towage and related activities, which doesn't reflect the definition of treasure hunting per se.
I have removed the merge proposal tags. Consensus is against doing it. Georgewilliamherbert 20:10, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
"Marine salvage is the process of rescuing a ship, its cargo, or other property from peril." I wouldn't describe salvage this way. This describes what coast guard rescue does, not salvage. I'm changing it.

Agreed. Salvage and rescue and quite different matters. A ship being recovered may be in peril - more often than not it isn't.JohnC (talk) 05:40, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Should investigation be listed as a reason for salvage work? As an example, the efforts to recover Air France 447 right now - wouldn't this be a salvage operation for the purpose of determining why it crashed?
This was also part of the reason for the rediscovery of the Titanic. Most notably, they learned that the ship did split in two as it sunk.

Salvage was not the reason for the Titanic discovery. It was a by-product of/cover for a search for sunken American nuclear submarines.JohnC (talk) 05:46, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Salvage can be done for investigation, but investigation can be done without salvage.· · · Peter Southwood (talk): 18:10, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Added Phoenix International Holdings, Inc. (Phoenix), under the direction of the U.S. Navy’s Supervisor of Salvage and Diving (SUPSALV), located and recovered the fuselage of a downed MH-60 Seahawk helicopter in the Philippine Sea from a record breaking depth of 19,075 feet or 3.6 miles beneath the surface. This is 266 feet deeper than the previous salvage record, also set by Phoenix and SUPSALV during the recovery of a C-2 Greyhound aircraft in 2019 and cited source.

Removed "the deepest successful marine salvage operation to date" from "The search for the wreckage and flight data recorders of South African Airways Flight 295 is at 16,000 feet" (4,900 m) as it is no longer the deepest-I work for Phoenix who holds the current record. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PhnxMktg (talk • contribs) 14:11, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
If we have an article on something that might qualify as a notable salvage, please leave a link here. A short explanation of why it should be considered for the article can be added to save time. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 08:05, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
The famous Stan Rogers song "The Mary Ellen Carter" is about a fictional ship salvage. Worth a mention here? --Ernieba1 (talk) 14:02, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
In tidying some "in progress" cases that have since been resolved, I added a resolution to the Black Swan Project from it's own page. I'm finding the Vrouw Maria situation to be somewhat unclear. Phrases from the VM WP page specifically relevant to this one say the following: "The ship was in good condition when it was discovered, but only six objects from the deck of the ship have been salvaged. The cargo holds have not been disturbed, so the condition of any art on board remains unknown. The Finnish National Board of Antiquities is responsible for the ship and all recovery efforts." and that "A dispute between the discoverers and the authorities was later resolved." but not how. If anyone is able to say how this relates to the phrasing as it stands, clarification would be good.

In the history section:
"this meant that if a hose became severed, the high-pressure air around the diver's head rapidly evacuated the helmet causing tremendous negative pressure that caused extreme and sometimes life-threatening effects."
There's no such thing as negative pressure. That would be less than vacuum. I'd propose a better wording if I understood what the sentence tries to explain.
Hope someone does and takes care of this.
I've worked a lot on Wrecking (shipwreck), which is about the 19th-century and earlier pursuit of salvaging shipwrecks. I'm looking at how to tie that history in with this article, but am not sure of how to do so. Any thoughts? - Donald Albury 12:12, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
An article titled "Marine salvage" that tells you everything except for the most important item - how marine experts go about salvaging a ship. 182.239.144.105 (talk) 08:46, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
I intend to edit the references to format them consistently as required for FA. My preference is for list format and CS2 templates, because I find them easier to maintain and the body text is less cluttered. If anyone has an objection, please suggest an alternative you are willing to set up and maintain, that provides an equivalent level of consistency and compliance with MoS and FAC requirements.

I plan to condense or summarise some of the content about underwater searches, and move the fully detailed stuff to Underwater searches, once I have worked out how best to do it. Constructive suggestions welcome. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 07:21, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
Hello all, I will be copyediting this article as a request posted in April 2023. I plan to correct some formatting issues as well as grammatical errors found within the paper. This will be a continuation of the copyedit shown above. Criticism welcome. TarantulaTM (speak with me) (my legacy) 23:45, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
