: :His statement that he "Firmly believes all wreck sites should be left :undisturbed!" annoyed me also. I also wondered why some divers didn't :penetrate the wreck to check the doors and scan for munitions that the :Germans suspected the ship was carrying. These seemed worth investigating. :Maybe we should get our own group together and check it out ourselves... : :Steve The Germans have never assumed it was carrying munition, they have always maintained that it was a mine. I have studied the design of the Britannic (actually got the plans), with naval architects that I know and it boggles the mind that one torpedo or mine could sink her. There is a secret being hid for sure. Maybe a coal dust explosion like the Lusitania? I just don't know yet. Also it is illegal to dive her, that is why only one team in recent years has visited her, and that was illegally. -Charles +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Please send messages for the WreckDiver list to: wreckdiver@wreckdiver.com Send subscription and help requests to: wreckdiver-request@wreckdiver.com +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
