Salvage of the U-864

I just get the uneasy feeling that trying to raise a wreck that has been decaying on the ocean floor for over half a century will cause an even greater catastrophe than the slow leak from the wreck as it stands now.

Imagine how much more damage sixty-seven tons of mercury set free at once would do.

Let the dead rest and leave well enough alone.

I don't get the connection between mercury and the name Wolfram. If you're referring to wolframite, that's the most common, naturally occuring ore of tungsten.
