“So you would get to see the top of the ship only. Maybe it still can be saved if someone can find a wharf.”
Aside from being a recreational diver I’m also engineer and a journeyman shipwright.
You can’t just let boats sit at the dock.
They deteriorate. They will sink at the dock!

I was just lamenting the depth they chose to sink it.
All recreational divers are taught not to go inside a sunk craft, that is for professionals only. Probably why they chose that depth to sink the ship in. Recreational divers won’t go that deep.
However it is fun to swim around a shallow reef.
and some people might be tempted!
Effing lawyers!

The hull can be incased in concrete somewhere. Then that's not a problem. If enough people wanted to save this ship, it would be saved.
