THEY ARE ENJOYABLE I LIKE THEM DURRING THE HOLIDAYS THEY MAKE YOU FEEL ALL WARM AND FUZZY AND SIT AROUND THE FIRE KUMBAYA SORT OF TREE HUGGER HAPPY.

THE RECOVERY SITES ARE PRETTY NEAT ONE OF THEM HAS AN OBSERVATION DOCK RIGHT ALONG SIDE IT AND IF ITS LOW TIDE AND THEY HAVE THE PUMPS ON YOU CAN SEE THE SHIP UNDER A FILM OF WATER THEY DONT EXPOSE IT BUT JUST DROP THE WATER LEVEL SO ITS EASIER TO WORK AROUND ITS REALLY NEAT THEY EVEN BRING UP A RELIC OR TWO BUT THE TIMES IVE BEEN IT WAS THE SAME ONION BOTTLE I THINK THEY LEAVE IT DOWN THERE AND BRING IT UP TO IMPRESS THE CROWD. SORT OF LIKE FIREWORKS- OOHHH, AHHHH, THEN IT GOES AWAY.
