Ellyatt told the Telegraph that he would like to salvage the sword but is worried that it would be seized by local authorities. The discovery of the high-profile item, among other treasures on the ship, has caught the attention of the Defense Ministry. Officials from the ministry (which claims legal ownership of the wreck) have contacted Ellyatt and requested that all of Nelson’s belongings be left on board.
“If the items are recovered, I would like to see them end up in a museum in the U.K.,” Ellyatt said. “The cabin [of the ship] is a bit like a shrine, with all kinds of nice things hanging on the wall.”
