Good day to all- I have to admit I'm quite ignorant of what I want to say here, but this thread triggerd something that I want to share. So, please forgive me if I sound a bit unsure...
I live in Michigan, surrounded by the Great Lakes, and from my understanding there are strict laws, regulations etc. when it comes to the lake wrecks. Exploration is one thing: but it is only that. The thing that sticks out in my mind is the joint U.S.-Canadian Law that Forbids any salvage, and even photography, of a wreck if any human remains are present.
( Now let me explain something- The lakes are fresh-water, cold, and the pressure is different from the oceans. I don't know all the dynamics, but it is not uncommon, evidently, to witness remains perfectly preserved on wrecks even after 70+ years. Hence the laws).
I realize I might be comparing apples to oranges here, but if this is the case on the lakes, I wonder if it might set up some kind of precedant, even on International waters?
Again, I may be just confusing matters, it's just something I felt a need to say-
Thanks!
