    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.
