Aside from the politics of it, you wouldn't think it would be profitable

Personally I never understood the 'hallowed" nature of shipwrecks.
We have absolutely no qualms about disturbing grave sites on land, taking artefacts for museums and historical study, and for that matter old sailing vessel shipwrecks, which are always also "grave sites" If anything I say the proper authorities should salvage or recover as much as possible from such wrecks before nature rots them into a large amount of rust colour sea bottom. If anyone has seen the original photos of Titanic, and more recent photos, one can see the natural destruction process going on. "Dont disturb"? why the hell not.. bring up as much as you can to in fact properly preserve the artefacts, the history, the memory and as such honour those who died, rather than let that memory rust into oblivion and be forgotten as life on land goes on.

It only applies to war graves. No one objects to "raising the Titanic".
