George,
> I have heard that they behave somewhat similarly, to present-day tourists.
Not really. (I have experience from last summer.
They do not kill you for an emerald ring anymore:-)
And they have a marine souvenir/antique shop where I could see some
Husuns and Cassens-Plath's, and even tried them, for free.
Probably from wrecked ships:-)
I suppose that this is the largest wrecked ship cemetry in the world.
(Judging from their postcards of wrecks from which you can study the
history
of shipbuilding).
Alex.
