Peter - thank you for that contribution. I guess some of us have more respect for the dead than others. >John decries "desecrating war graves"--he sounds like a bureaucrat, not a >wreck diver. We call it "salvage" and "preservation through recovery". I >suppose that John knows best: the victims would prefer to remain unknown, >unremembered and their valient sacrifice uncommemorated. The victims have a monument erected to them. A number of dive magazines have run articles outlining the tragic circumstances of the sinking. I don't think pillaging their grave site qualifies as "preservation through recovery" and anyway, let's face it what divers remove just ends up sitting in their back yard for 6 months until they can be bothered to clean and then it sits in their house somewhere - hardly a fitting testamony to their memory.
