I thought some people might be interested to know that the Empress of Ireland wreck (Rimouski, Canada) is now protected by the Canadian government and the protection is being enforced. Apparently, a diver was charged following an inquiry by the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) on November 13th for illegaly removing artifacts from the wreck. His first appearance in court is scheduled for the 21st of jan 1999. Updates to follow. -- Roger Lacasse C.elec.: lacasse@ca*.ca* Groupe des commandes de vol, departement 24 Tel (514) 341-2000 #2973 CAE Electronique Ltee Fax (514) 734-5741 -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
