I apologise to anyone not interested in diving history - but just hit
the delete key! Oh! And it's very much a one-eyed view! :-)

<<< That was not a story to be deleted! Thanks, it was great. .........A
couple questions:  Were any of the bars of gold or silver ever recovered
from the Lutine? I know you said they were not, but with all of the
present-day divers, good equipment, and just 40fsw, I have a hard time
accepting that. I know if I lived in that area, I would be looking until
I found it.

And you mentioned sources of helium, which I have wanted to know more
about. I have heard that the U.S. has most/all of the earth's known
helium, but I don't know the area this comes from. And what would cause
an underground pocket of helium to be formed? And isn't helium filtered
from atmospheric air, like oxygen is? ....Too many questions?  :-)
