  Various people have commented about the rights and wrongs of removing
objects from wrecks. I say that all wrecks should be salvaged. Man needs
metals. The world's metal ore mines and quarries won't last for ever, and with
some metals (e.g. copper, gold, uranium) Man is starting to see the beginning
of the end of new mineable supplies. Stuff lost or abandoned in the sea and
elsewhere must be salvaged, ignoring mistaken sentiments about the dead and
old times etc. There must be a limit to what the dead stop the living from
using, or Man will end up back in the Stone Age. In nature everything is
sooner or later recycled, and that is why Nature has kept going for so long.
