Philip Haithornwight wrote in the "Napoleonic Sourcebook" that unless their armory was blown up wooden vessels did not sink.
As I posted before floating wrecks had value. Even as source of wood for repairs or fire wood. Sank wrecks were a loss.
Greeks managed to recover most of their dead in Salamis.
Descrptions of their graves and other monuments come from T. Vernire and S.Pole in 1845. More detailed work from E. Vanderpool in 1966.
As for the enemy dead marine life and torrent can make it hard to find evidence. Plus near a Naval base you need to have God as your relative to be allowed to dive there.
Kind regards
