See, to me it's like this amazing thing that's very tragic and so appealing... Not in a morbid sense, well, no maybe slightly morbid, but not in a creepy way... (?)
Just looking at it on TV or reading about it gives me those little hairs on the back of my neck standing up.
I'd love to know if they could raise it, it's like the ultimate thing. Unreachable so far, though.
The Mary Rose (Henry 8th's ship... I think- long time since the primary school history trip! lol) is much the same, and to see this piece of ship that many lost their lives on is just, well, breathtaking! Because of the age and the mystery.... It's History, not grave-robbing. Just like Oldfart said, we do it all the time. History and our knowledge of everything that surrounds us would be so much worse off without it!.... But, anyway....
