Me thinks most people have a lot more common sense than that, or is that wishful thinking?
What you said is the whole point, to bring the plight of these ships to the forefront of the public's myopic attention, as was done during the last century, to demonstarte how such historic objects provide important lessons about our heritage and national character, the spirit of innovatoin and willingness to overcome seemingly impossible obstactles, which, as an inspiration to my children and my children's children, can help them overcome whatever challenges they may encounter. The lessons of history are essential to a secure future....
