"The ships - the Markgraf, Karlsruhe, Konig and Kronprinz Wilhelm - are scheduled monuments, which recreational divers are not supposed to enter."

It is odd that private citizens are allowed to own "monuments." I would think ownership would transfer to whomever decided they should become monuments.
