In the book "Jäger und Gejagte" (Hunter and Hunted) there was a RL story of a german boat that picked up crates from a sunken ship, only to discover to their huge dissapointment that there were clothes in it. And they picked up sacks of flour, the flour had a thin skin of saltwater/flour-stuff under which the flour was perfectly good.
They did not dare to repeat those manoeuvers because of the risk of airplanes.
Yarr!
