The sinking of MS Estonia: Case Reopened Part VII

The Germans seem to have remained pretty sceptical about the accident. It didn't sign the Treaty despite being a key Baltic nation. As for the Russians using the wreck as a spy base, it seems to be 100% in the Russian DNA to do this.

Cue cries of, "Oh, but it's not possible to have done any secret dives because....because, the coastguard would have SEEN them!"

If this rumour turns out to be true, they obviously didn't manage to do it in secret, now did they? Overall, NATO/the countries around the Baltic seem to have a pretty good idea of what the Russians are up to and where.

Collisions with submarines making holes above the waterline, bombs blowing the bow doors off but still being observed inside the wreck, nuclear waste dissolving the bow, trucks full of drugs being pushed off the ship by the Mafia, doors being opened to let out cigarette smoke, the senior crew being disappeared, helicopter crew being compensated with medals to keep them quiet about the cover-up, the captain being shot, retrieval of sooper-seecrit briefcases, Brian Braidwood "famously" defusing the bomb on the Rainbow Warrior, Bill Clinton ordering the smuggling of Soviet-era military hardware in order to appear as a "Middle East Peacemaker extraordinaire"...

There's a lot for them to be skeptical about.

So come on: why is the UK a signatory to the treaty? What is its involvement?

What does the treaty say?

Why would Britain not want to honour and preserve a war grave when we have more ship wrecks dedicated as war graves around the worlds oceans than anyone else?

From wiki:

The Estonia Agreement 1995, a treaty among Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Denmark, Russia and the United Kingdom, declared sanctity over the site, prohibiting their citizens from even approaching the wreck.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_MS_Estonia#cite_note-50"><span>[</span>43<span>]</span></a> The treaty is, however, only binding for citizens of the countries that are signatories. At least twice, the Swedish Navy has discovered diving operations at the wreck. The wreck's location is monitored on radar by the Finnish Navy.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_MS_Estonia#cite_note-51"><span>[</span>44<span>]</span></a>

There's more plausible conspiracies about the loss of 49-244. There were actual Soviet subs around.
