Mausoleum ethics
While making a list of things to check out this weekend while I am on a business trip I found the exact location of this place as I am going to check out some abandoned ships just down the road from it. Dose exploring this cross the line between a Indiana Jones style adventure and grave robbing? Any thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Mausoleum ethics
I'm of the thought that I'll take pictures of the outside but I won't go inside unless it's open, and even then I will do nothing but take pictures but not of names. To me, that's just disrespectful. Then again, I want to be dumped in the woods when I'm dead so I'm not one to talk, but those are my thoughts.
Now ships are a different matter. That'd be fucking excellent mate!

RE: Mausoleum ethics
People take pictures in cemeteries all the time, it's not really that different. I don't think it would be disrespectful unless you did something tasteless. Cemeteries are open to the public, so it's not like you are exploiting anything. Now if you were tromping around and trashing the place then it would be disrespectful but as long as you are mindful of where you are, I would think you would be OK.

Re: Mausoleum ethics
I love taking pictures of headstones. Some of them are really beautiful. To walk thru the cemetery and see all the names and dates, all the untold history together in one place. Cemeteries are nice places.

Re: Mausoleum ethics
Eh, if it's already wide open from someone else, I don't see the harm in going in and having a look. I know I would.

RE: Mausoleum ethics
Yes I am ok with cemetaries but what made this place a little odd was that there are skeletons laying all over the place, not just in the crips. One of the notes said that you have to be careful to step over the skeletons on the floor. From the pictures from another web site it looked like the place was very big and that someone had stolen all the skulls.
Re: Mausoleum ethics
Looking at the place, I'd say the damage has been done. Ethically, I don't see any more problem with exploring this than I would say, Yellowstone or Yosemite, with the same application of the basic tenets. Leave only footprints, take only pictures.

Or you can use the Boy Scout method: Take your trash and clean up more.

Re: Mausoleum ethics
You were obviously never a scout. Take it from this former Eagle Scout- the Boy Scout method is a wee bit more like this:
"Tear down the other troop's tents, beat them with sticks, throw lighters into the fire, and if you can smuggle bullets off the rifle range, do it."

I was told to skin it and eat it. Oh wait, that was just about girl scouts and hookers. Wait, I'll remember what they taught us eventually.gimpface wrote:You were obviously never a scout. Take it from this former Eagle Scout- the Boy Scout method is a wee bit more like this:
