I read in the paper today that a curator for the Wisconsin State Historical Museum just got sentenced to 15 years for the selling of artifacts. Yeah, I trust the goverment to watch over our shipwrecks. They seem to be much more reputable than us wreckdivers- Yeah, right.

: The Wisconsin Historical Society is disappointed with the decision of the United States District Court, Eastern District of Wisconsin on 27 September 2001 in favor of Mr. Paul L. Ehorn. On 12 October 2001, the State of Wisconsin filed a motion for the court to reconsider its judgement. On 26 October 2001, the State of Wisconsin filed a notice of appeal in the Federal 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago.
: The Wisconsin Historical Society remains optimistic that Wisconsin will be able to successfully defend its interest in the Rosinco and will continue to preserve and protect archaeological sites for future generations of divers and non-divers.
