This appeared today on the BBC News Website. If this is real this is a truly appalling and abhorent act of Mass Grave Robbery and destruction of what are sacred gravesites link |

Seems odd that nobody would notice someone trying to salvage them.
Other possible explanations though? I have no idea

Probably the natives slowly picking them apart for scrap over seventy years. If no one's visited the wreck since the ships sunk then it'd be easy for them to slowly deconstruct them over seventy years. They never did hold the Dutch in particularly high regard, after all.

The British Ships will be monitored regularly by the RAN, RN, RNZN for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. I suspect there has been some backhanders to regional Navies and Governments and in that very Naval tradition of Nelson "seeing of no ships" whilst the recovery went on. I imagine the KM (Royal Netherlands Navy) do regular checks on theirs too. |
