Nope. If it's in someone's territorial waters, it depends on that country's law.
I do believe that once it is raised, it'll have to be turned in to the receiver of wrecks, who will then try to contact the owners (IE, Germany). If the owners agree to pay the salvage fee, then it's theirs, otherwise the salver may keep it.
Something like that, anyway.
