I believe that if you have a good camera you can take a great photo of the item and have it printed and framed. You can hang this on the wall and it will look better that if you took the item and hung it. Especially if you are able to catch some marine life in the photo with the item. There is nothing like a photo of a brass porthole in the ship with something swimming through or in the distance behind it!!!!!!! TAKE ONLY PICTURES AND LEAVE ONLY BUBBLES!
