From a forensics angle, there are plenty of questions that have yet to be resolved. That's why going down at least for a look matters. You can't even hope for answers to such questions unless you go down and look for the evidence. The wreck still has a lot to say. Likewise, as I pointed out way earlier in the thread, if the primary objective is preservation, then that makes salvage and conservation an imperative. Leaving everything [i]in situ[/i] is [b]not[/b] preservation. Time and salt water will eventuslly destroy the lot. [/QUOTE]
