Also Frank,
My dive style/ethical position has always,(since the early 80s’) been look, photograph but do not remove /take artefacts. Many of my pals have gardens full of brass wreckage, portholes, compass binnacles , Boffars guns , cannons even still active 4 inch shells from the world wars! Madmen all! ( I do have one cannon ball, several musket balls and one “slave wrist ring”, very disturbing.)

Subject: [NavList] Diving on the "Association" site in the Scillies
Francis,
You mentioned in your latest reply to the 'pick a book, any book' exercise that you dove on the wreck site of the "Association" in the Scillies in the 1980s. That sounds like an interesting adventure! Could you tell us what it was like? I know the site was heavily exacavated decades earlier. Was there much left to see on the bottom? Were you able to collect any simple souvenirs, even a rock from the bottom? What were the currents like there? How about visibility? Thanks.
Frank Reed
