D, personally, I'd rather see the bell in it's "original" shape, style, whatever you'd like to call it. I guess the tourists didn't think it was pretty enough, so they changed it. In either case, I can't see how the historical value has changed, whether it's painted or polished, it's still a memorial to the crew of the Edmund Fitzgerald. The Archaeologists "always" seem to cry foul when things aren't done they way they deem fit. Kind of a shame really. Divers and Archaeologists working in tandem could do a lot of good work, but egos? get in the way?? I'd love to see the memorial, maybe sometime soon I'll take a road trip out to the Great Lakes and see it.
