Hanno, I did notice that none of the divers touched any of them. I imagine they are protected already.

The St. Lawrence wreck does exist. I cannot recall if the ship was torpedoed on it's way out of Montreal or sank following a collision, but a good part of it's cargo was a shipment of Valentine tanks. Nothing was ever salvaged because the currents are very bad at the location it went down and the visibility not that great either. I think it is in a part of the river that bears the effects of the downstream river current and upcoming tidal bore effects. I did see a TV show about them many years back but cannot recall the source.

the d-day centaurs and d7 dozer

I would love to raise them but I doubt it's possible to save anything, although having said that I did go to a yard in Portsmouth earlier this year where one of the valentine 6 pdr barrels and cradle from studland bay had been recovered and was awaiting restoration. so it is possible but it was rough.
