I do remember that the Edmund Fitzgerald was found over 500 feet down. That is pretty deep for scuba divers to go. It can be done but it is risky.
I do remember that shortly after it was found it was dived by a couple of divers and they might have taken souvenirs. I do remember that the families were pretty upset about it and a law was passed that put the wreck off limits.
But bringing up a bell which is pretty big and solid is far different from bringing up a human body which is pretty small and squishy.

LOL! Well, we're all going to go "squishy" at some point, so I guess you have a good point there. ;)
