Surveying Narvik wrecks without disturbing graves

A planned Narvik survey would use remote underwater vehicles to study wrecks while avoiding intrusive diving at war graves.

Question

How could a Shipshape visit investigate wrecks around Narvik?

Short answer

Use locally available remote underwater-vehicle capability to document wrecks from a historical perspective without divers entering the sites.

Notes

Better imagery could improve understanding of wrecks around Narvik, where English-language historical study remains limited. The plan would use local underwater vehicles already employed for survey and testing, allowing historians to gather images without sending divers into the wrecks. Remote observation is ethically different from entering war graves or treating them as spectacle. The purpose is to understand the battles and surviving material more clearly while recognizing that even non-intrusive access requires care.
