: I just dove the Wexford and truley enjoyed it. The artifacts are very interesting and tell quite a story. I have been told that artifacts are already comming up missing. Is it true? Are sport divers stealing items or is this just talk. I have not spoken directly with any one who has dove the wreck mor than ons time.
Sadly artifacts are being removed. The OPP have are currently investigating another incident. If anyone can help in their investigation contact Detective D. Adams at the Goderich OPP detachment. The key is not enforcement but education. Showing the What Will Happen to the Baby Jane and encouraging divers to take the NAS course{Nautical Archaelogical Society} will help.
Life of a Wexford artifact 1) 87 years on the bottom of Lake Huron 2) Diver steals artifact 3) artifact displayed in divers rec room for about 2 years 4) diver gets embarrassed/ chastised by fellow divers 5) divers throws artifact into land fill garbage site.
Did you support Bill 13???
Dove on sat morn about 4 weeks ago, 2 mugs on a bench plank, as we left a dive boat from a London Shop arrived. Dove the next day 1 mug gone. Pitcher surveyed last year by prop gone.
Very sad. we are not releasing the location of the other wrecks we have located this year. Acts of feew have spoiled the enjoyment of the masses.
