Preserving the U-701

[+pcpilot]

Found an interesting story about the wreck of the U-701 off Hattaras in 1942 and the efforts of various locals, diving and govermental groups to preserve the wreck for posterity. I've always personally felt it was appropriate to protect these sites, not only for the historical significance and the diving experiance, but also out of respect to those who may very well be entombed there. When you consider the ordels they must have faced in their final moments, to loot a wreack for artifacts just isnt right. Im pleased to see that a strong effort is being made to move forward with making this wreck at least, preserve.
