FROM THE AUTHORS PREFACE: Hunting sunken treasure is a new field of endeavor, one which is fast becoming a universal lure for the modern age of deep-sea exploration and scientific salvage. Not only is it a thrilling endeavor, but it is also real and rewarding for both youngsters and elders. I know because I have partaken of some of the riches of the watery depths and retrieved thousands of dollars worth of such *loot.* As the first man to penetrate to a world-record depth in a mechanically operated diving robot, I have often been asked the question, *Why do you explorers and salvors do it?* My answer is that it is a manifestation of that insatiable desire in both youth and man to see what's *down there.* Too, most of us never grow old, for underneath the responsibilities and dignities of maturity we are still *kids* in our fanciful romancing, still seeking pirate treasure, exploring mysterious places; and many of us grown-up "kids" refuse to be restrained by convention's responsibilities and dignities. -- Lieut. Harry E. Rieseberg.
