A good resto from what they recovered in 2001

I didn't realise that they only recently (2001) recovered his body from the loch, good to see it restored and on display.

I'm surprised that they recovered the boat and his body.
I was under the impression that late last century, the feeling was that it should be treated a bit like a grave site and left as it was.
Isn't that what happens with some of the war time ship wrecks?

Maybe the family wanted it recovered.

Seemed to be some disagreement about the raising of Bluebird & Donald's body.
Then a few people laying claim to Bluebird.......
