: : HI. I thoroughly enjoy reading about about old ships that travelled the Great Lakes long ago, sunk, and reportedly had a strongbox or safe containing valuables. I eventually want to attempt to locate some of these ships, but I constantly read about protected areas, and scuba divers not removing anything fom a sunken ship. I understand and respect the historical value of any ship, and would never do anything to leave a historic site (land or in the water) not in the same condition as previous. But, if a ship does have the potential for a strongbox or safe what are the the legal options that someone has to explore and such a ship? If anyone has any ideas on this please write back to me, and I would like to coordinate with others with my interest. Thank -you. Tony
