The Vasa is an excellent example of raising and preserving this kind of ship. She sunk in 1628 and is accepting visitors today.

Reply to Do I need a floor in a firewood shed? by Barbadosslims
Use treated lumber rather than just construction lumber - things in contact with soil will rot quickly otherwise. You're not saving money if you have to rebuild in a year or two.
You don't need a floor in my opinion, though you absolutely want to elevate the wood off of the dirt. A couple of the aforementioned pallets might help there.

I'll admit to not knowing if the condition of this particular wreck is such that it could be raised - it would be pure speculation on my (and I'd imagine your) part.
My point (poorly made) was that saying there's nothing left but dust is untrue. The Mary Rose was raised (and not from the Baltic), though she's in nowhere near the condition of the Vasa, and the article states that much of the hull here is intact as well.
Can and should this vessel be brought back up - I have no idea. Is it within the realm of possibility given what I know and what the article states? Yes.
