Attachment 1 AMENDED COMPLAINT Against the Unidentified Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. v. The Unidentified, Shipwrecked Vessel or Vessels Doc. 37 Att. 1 Case 8:06-cv-01685-SDM-TBM Document 37-2 Filed 08/07/2007 Page 1 of 52 ENGLISH TRASLATION Don Julian Marinez Garcia Director General de Bellas Ares y Bienes Cultuales Misterio de Cultua Plaza del Rey 1 , Planta baja 28071 Madrid July 6, 2007 Dear Mr. Director General Durng the last nie years Odyssey Mare Exploration, Inc. (OME) has cared out every tye of effort available to resolve with the Spansh and Andalusian authorities, of course, the foreseeable differences that could arse in relation to its HMS Sussex Project (Alboran Sea) with the best spirt of cooperation. Aside from this OME has offered its best collaboration with these authorities on the understading that it could offer important help in the study, location and defence of Spansh underwater cultual heritage in varous seas, with its best archaeological know-how. You are an exceptional witness to the position of OME in which my colleague Mare Rogers as well as myself, as the lawyers designated by OMB, have placed our hopes and efforts, along with the representatives of the US and the UK Embassies in Madrd. Due to the latest developments in the "Black Swan Project" in waters of the Atlantic and beyond any Spansh waters whatsoever, and in that the Spansh governent lacks at this time any indication of a legal basis to lay claim to the cargo found, some Spansh authorities at a very high level have maitained diffcult to explain suspicions of ilegal conduct on the par of OME. They have described the most transparent conduct oftms entity, from a legal point of view as well as an archaeological (that is otherwise evident), in very serious terms of ilegality and even crie, makg formal accusations before the Spansh cours when it is evident to us, I repeat, that they do not possess even a mium confation or proof in respect to the identity of the vessel carring the cargo given that even OME who is investigating this in detail lacks sufcient indications of ths. Such an offcial stace and the violent and unjust echo that has been produced in the national and international press, demonstrating in many instances total iresponsibilty, have damaged the image and doubtless prestige of OME. OME on the other hand has not had the opportuty to defend itself given that the crial proceedings have been declared secret and the Cour of La Linea has rejected our offer of evidence, clarifcations and most transparent collaboration retuing to us the pleadings to appear in the proceedings and the proposal of evidence without even malcig that rejection the subject of a wrtten ruling. This offerig is comprised of documentation, the statement of Mr. Greg Stemm and other relevant OME personnel and the offering of inspection ofthe boats Odyssey Exp10rer and Odyssey Alert. Dockets.Justia.com Case 8:06-cv-01685-SDM-TBM Document 37-2 Filed 08/07/2007 Page 2 of 52 ENGLISH TRASLATION Page Two For this reason, I have tred by all means available to me with the maxum discretion possible, following the instrctions of my client, to avoid the false ofiicial position on ths matter, which in my view is dangerous for the very interests of Spain, via letters to varous authorities and interviews with the Ministr of Cultue, the Junta de Andalusia, the Public Prosecutor and the Court of La Linea de la Concepcion, etc. and reports and statements in the press without the least result. I attach to this letter the sworn statement of Mr. Greg Stemm. I trt, Sir, that these lines will make clear my loyal conduct on behalf of OME and regretting both as a professional and as a Spansh citizen, not having been able, as would have been our desire, to avoid the complicated foreseeable situation for the Spansh admsuation that will arse as a result of OME exercising its legitimate rights to defend its interests, as well as the Spansh position in relation to underwater cultual heritage in all international legal forus. It is OME' s constant desire and policy to give advance notice of its conduct to the Spansh authorities implicated. That is what it has done to date in relation to the movements of its vessels in waters near the Spansh coast. At this time however and regrettably, we are deprived of any adequate line of communcation.

Gibraltar became British in 1704 and is a self-governing territory of the United Kingdom which covers 6.5 square kilometers, including the port and harbour. It is believed that Gibraltar has been used as a harbour by seafarers for thousands of years with evidence dating back at least three millennia to Phoenician times; however up until the late 19th Century it provided little shelter for vessels. Refer to Figure 1 which shows the coast line along the western side of Gibraltar with the first structure known as the ‘Old Mole’ on the northern end of the town. Refer to figure 1 below. Location of the ‘Old Mole’ N The Old Mole as 1770 Figure 1 Showing the harbour with the first harbour structure, the ‘Old Mole’ and the structure in detail as in 1770.

HRPP577 1 Bernard Bonfiglio, Doug Cresswell, Dr Darren Fa, Dr Geraldine Finlayson, Christopher Tovell The modern Port of Gibraltar occupies a uniquely important strategic location, demonstrated by the many naval battles fought at and for the peninsula.

  • The Official Chess Yearbook 2010 Foreword
    English Chess Federation The Official Chess Yearbook 2010 Foreword I played chess actively for a decade, racking up hundreds of games every year. Although my fanatical playing days are behind me, the welfare of chess, both in England and internationally, is still an overriding passion for me. After my election in 2009, I was determined to use the ECF Presidency as a force for good throughout the chess community. My predecessor Gerry Walsh made enormous advances in promoting the English game and its players all over the world and I hope to be able to continue this work. However, it is no secret that the domestic situation has deteriorated recently and this will be the focus of my attention. England is still a significant chess power and I believe the casual attitude of merely 'punching above our weight' is no longer relevant. The stunning successes of the Staunton Memorial and the London Chess Classic proved the country is capable of staging magnificent world class events and it is essential we build on this in the coming years. We have an amazing array of wonderfully talented players, at every level of the game, and their passion and enthusiasm can only be inspiring for those that work to enhance the situation for chess. I cannot promise miracles but I will promise to listen to any individual, club, league or tournament that has anything to say. I am travelling extensively to meet people, within the chess community, government and business, to establish relationships which can be used in order to further the ambitions of the ECF and its members.

    ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING BIRDS IN THE NEANDERTHAL ECOLOGICAL NICHE – USING BIRDS FROM PLEISTOCENE CAVE ARCHIVES TO CHARACTERISE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NEANDERTHALS AND BIRDS STEWART FINLAYSON A thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Anglia Ruskin University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Submitted: October 2019 To my sons Aiden and Tyler No matter how complicated life gets, always believe in yourselves. …You can do it. To Mum and Dad For always believing in me, when everyone else gave up ii Acknowledgements Back in 1989, when I was six years old, I first walked down with my parents to Gorham’s Cave and explored this wonderful site that had been occupied by Neanderthals in Gibraltar for thousands of years. It was an abrupt introduction into this world of the Neanderthals. In parallel, my parents also introduced me to the magical world of birds and their migrations across the Strait of Gibraltar. When in 1993 I first stepped into the Biological Reserve of Doñana in Southern Spain, my life changed – it was like stepping into the world of the Neanderthals. Many of the animals and plants I knew from fossils in the caves, suddenly came to life. I must therefore start by thanking these Neanderthal people, and the birds for allowing me to peek into their world. I also have to thank my parents who introduced me into the world of the naturalist, and encouraged me and have been my mentors throughout. My granparents: Tommy, Angie, Ernest and Maite, and my uncles Tom and John for your positive influence.

  • An Analysis of Odyssey Marine Exploration
    Spring 12 Publically Traded Treasure Hunters: An Analysis of Odyssey Marine Exploration Seth Borko Advisor: Richard Linowes, Management Department, Kogod School of Business, American University University Honors in Business Abstract This capstone explores the funding and operations of 21st century shipwreck exploration. Hundreds of years of sunken vessels lay on the bottom of the world’s oceans. Many of these wrecks sunk with valuable cargos potentially worth hundreds of millions of dollars. This paper explores the shipwreck industry by examining the strategic management of Odyssey Marine Exploration. Odyssey is a premier shipwreck search and recovery company and unique in that its shares are publically traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange (OMEX). This capstone includes a historical review of salvage operations and an analysis of current Odyssey business operating results. The capstone explores the significant legal and ethical issues that threaten the going concern of Odyssey. The final section offers recommendations as to strategies that Odyssey Marine Exploration can implement to secure and stabilize their operating cash flows. Introduction Odyssey Marine Explorations (NASDAQ: OMEX) discovers and salvages shipwrecks on the ocean floor. Viewed by many as modern day treasure hunters, the company has a team of researchers that dig through historical records to find wrecks with cargoes of value. Odyssey will then search for and salvage the wrecks using advanced techniques and machinery developed in many other industries. Odyssey makes use of side scan sonar systems and operates two industrial class remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) ZEUS and ZEUS II, each the size of truck and able to dive to 2,500 meters.
