Some bit on CNN earlier today touched a nerve since I've written about it before and thought it'd make a nice ethics thread here: is salvaging shipwrecks, or other locations tantamount to graverobbing?
I understand after so long on the bottom of the sea, a ship's property can be legally salvaged. As such it's not illegal like graverobbing. But when people died in the wreck, then people come along and take property from the bodies of dead people (literally or not) isn't that still unethically-something?
