"Wrong, he was told. The Navy doesn't abandon warships. All of them, even rusting confederate ones, belong to the United States government."

Bizarre, since Confederate property was not US property. Unless, the CSA surrender ceded rights & titles to the US? That I could understand, but I'd sure like to see what docments conveyed that title, or how the court reached those conclusions.
