	Wrecking (shipwreck) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wrecking is no longer economically significant, however as recently as the 19th century in some parts of the world it was the mainstay of many otherwise economically marginal coastal communities.
		Wrecking was well known in Cornwall, where the rocky coastline, strong prevailing onshore winds and (sometimes) the display of false lights led many ships to disaster (this is also true in other parts of the celtic seaboard, such as South-west Ireland, the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales and Finistere in Brittany).
		Wrecking was a major industry in the Florida Keys for much of the 19th Century.

	WRECKING DIVING
		By a stroke of the pen, all abandoned shipwrecks found beneath state waters: that is, under any rivers, bays, harbors, or lakes (including all of the Great Lakes) or up to three miles off-shore in the oceans, became the property of the state in whose water the shipwreck was discovered.
		Thus, by allying oneself with the insurer of a newly-discovered shipwreck, and agreeing to an equitable division of the property recovered, the finder may protect himself from governmental seizure of the artifacts.
		All that shipwreck explorers need do is sit back and take no action or raise no voices in objection to the legislative efforts to divest us of ownership of our finds and the cherished maritime traditions that reward salvors for successfully rescuing property from marine peril will son be reduced to merely fond memories.
