English Privateer Lord Clive Found Off Uruguay-- Part 2

However, those looking to work on the wreck face many problems.  Among them is the muddy water, fast current and rocks of the River Plate.

The Lord Clive was formerly the British Royal Navy's 4th-rate ship of the line HMS Kingston.  It was a six story tall ship and 160 feet long.

As near as I could make out from the article, it sounds like they are trying to recover the whole ship.  And, I am sure the gold has something to do with it.

Work is expected to begin in August.
