If legally abandoned, CWD reserves the right to to strip said wreck for "historically" significant artifacts, and withdraws it's respect for all other divers not affiliated with it's organization?
If this wreck is not raised, and is discovered to be within recreational depths, I hope the CWD will refrain looting whatever remains once the salvaging has been completed.
It seems to me that any ship that is "abandoned" in state waters should become the property of the state of California.
