George, > I have heard that they behave somewhat similarly, to present-day tourists. Not really. (I have experience from last summer. They do not kill you for an emerald ring anymore:-) And they have a marine souvenir/antique shop where I could see some Husuns and Cassens-Plath's, and even tried them, for free. Probably from wrecked ships:-) I suppose that this is the largest wrecked ship cemetry in the world. (Judging from their postcards of wrecks from which you can study the history of shipbuilding).
