“...People are always asking me if I think it can be raised, Friend said. If it could be raised it would be wonderful. People from all over the world would come to see it....”
What’s with the “IF?” crap...
We put men on the MOON with 1960s technology; yet they can’t figure out how to raise a ship in only 30 feet of water?
What the hell happened to “Can Do!” America?
IF really means if the cost can be justified.
Because it's been sitting in only 30 feet of water for 150 years. Metal rusts.
