A visit would be great, but I understand she's at ~500ft and considered a war grave, making her the property of the British Admiralty. I've heard rumors of a possible documentary featuring some of the video shot from the ROV. While maybe not as exciting as a warship, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence have other intact wooden-hulls in great condition that we try to dive whenever we can.
