It is not the Sussex according to their website. They do state that they will be recomencing opperations on the Sussex after they appoint two Spanish archaeologists. Aparently they have been using Cornwall as a refit base during the 'Black Swan' so it points to an Atlantic wreck.
Their statement on archaeology: Yes. The "Black Swan" site was the subject of an extensive pre-disturbance survey prior to any excavation. Recovery of the artifacts recovered to date has been accomplished under the supervision of two archaeologists and has followed rigorous archaeological protocols.
These are the guys who did the S.S.Republic and specialise in deep water salvage projects. It's all ROV work.
