I'm not sure where I stand on this issue. On the one hand I never collect 
portholes, but don't object at all to others doing so. I have always 
looked at the vast majority of wrecks as a big junkyard in the ocean. 
Wouldn't environmentalists be screaming bloody murder if we left all our car 
wrecks on the side of the road instead of towing them to a junkyard? 
What' the diff?
On the one hand I believe in protecting the environment (no mercury in 
rivers etc), on the other hand I believe we are PART OF THE ENVIRONMENT.
Aren't about 99.999% of all species that ever existed extinct? Lets face it, 
things will work out without the spotted owl!
I do however see a difference in a few wrecks like the monitor and maybe 
the Titanic and the Mary Rose types of ships.
