The article discusses the meaning of "commercial activity" under the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act as of August 2013, focusing on various legal issues associated with sunken shipwrecks and buried treasures. U.S. courts and legal cases involving marine salvage companies such as Odyssey Marine Exploration Inc. are mentioned, along with the U.S. Supreme Court and congressional intent.
