I tend to doubt that deep sea salvage is feasible in the third age. If it was, then one could thing of a lot of other "treasures" that could be recovered. (for example you could dive into the Anduin and bring up the "giant" palatir (the one that required four people to move it.) of Osgiliath. Come to think of it Al-phazaron had three palatir with him, incuding the second biggest stone (the one from Amon Sul) so maybe diving that wreck would be useful too (size as I recall does matter with Palantir, the bigger it is the farther you can see with it. ) It a bit of a pity that at least in middle earth there apper to be no "good" intellegent creatures living beneath the sea who will deign contact and limited alliace with the free peoples (as the Eagles and Ravens of the Air at times did)
