HMS Ontario Shipwreck

*228 years ago

They should raise it! Not to plunder it, but it is an amazing look back into history. I know it is an ethical issue, and I agree to an extent it is disturbing a grave. But, it would be great to see a real ship other than replicas. And, also, eventually, someone WILL find it's whereabouts and plunder it themselves, bones and all. Better that the scientific community perserves it for all, than scavengers tearing it to peices and ending up on eBay.

I agree. While it is a mass grave, time is ticking. One day it won't be there anymore.

And I'm VERY tired of America's lack of historical values. People generally have no problem demolishing historic sites or destroying historic buildings. Over in Europe, the buildings are thousands of years old. It's gorgeous. Not here, of course.

Unlike 23 years ago, when the Titanic was found, the technology to find these wrecks is now widely available. Here on YouTube, there are some treassure seekers who videotaped human remains inside a Uboat. I noticed that the skulls were missing, indicating someone was trophy hunting. This particular ship would be a grave robbers paradise. I think such historical ships should be saved for all to see. Not just those who can scuba dive. Well, those are my 2 cents worth.
