I don't know who made that statement. I guess that this as more to do 
with what that person wished had happenned than reality. 
 
I have it from the owner/operator of the main charter to the Empress
that he had an exellent season. Only one cancellation.
The owner of the largest shop in town does not get much business from
people visiting the wreck anyways. He is doing better than he ever did.

Therefore, this argument can not be used against wreck protection. 

As a side note, how much business the local charters and shops would 
be making now if the plans made by a group of divers to blow up the
wreck (last spring) had been allowed?
