Has anyone seen the article on BBC.COM "Mary Rose shipwreck skulls go online in 3D"
If any shipwreck discoverer attempted to show pictures or recover human remains, there would be the biggest outcry and rage from Archaeologists. The Mary Rose would be considered a war grave and any human remains would be 100% off limits. Even Spain is trying everything in their power(including war grave) to stop the recovery of the San Jose(1708) in Colombia when they realized that Colombia wisely did not sign the UNESCO Law of the Sea. Is Spain ashamed of the plundering and murdering they inflicted on civilizations in South America? Congratulations to this group for stepping out there and bringing all shipwreck objects including human remains to the surface to be seen by everyone. Let's see if any Arch's criticize them like they would if this was a private group displaying the skulls.
