So the museum is indulging a black market in wrecks and other artifacts?

Sad to say, this is an ancient practice among museums and similar institutions. Apart from museums patterned on the British model, the idea of conservation is very slippery.
If an unfriendly power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.
