Oh God!!!  Not this again!  For all the recent newcomers to the
list, search the techdiver archives for "The Big Wreck", and
"The Big Wrecked Wreck"!

"Public bottomlands"????  Please cite.  Which government agency
administers these "public bottomlands" (outside of 3 miles from
shore)?

This whole piece wreaks of naivety and socialism.  Anyone who
thinks that wrecks can be "preserved" in the most corrosive
natural environment on earth needs to study physics and chemistry.
David Finnern did an excellent job of examining the issues in his
editorial in the March '95 issue of Underwater USA.

For other good reading material on this subject, see Gary Gentile's
latest book (the gold one), as well as his one on the USS Monitor.
