So how long do you think it will be before the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald will be able to be further examined whether by divers, subs, or any other means?

As soon as someone ponies up the cash to do it.

No, you can’t visit the Edmund Fitzgerald shipwreck by diving or operating submersibles without a license. The Ontario Heritage Act has allowed the Ontario government to charge heavy fines for diving and operating side scan sonars, underwater cameras, and other submersibles without a license since April 2005. The wreck is entirely located within the territorial waters of the Canadian province of Ontario, and diving on the wreck has been completely banned by the Canadian government by all means including ROVs and manned submersibles.
The above cut-n-pasted from a search.
-
The province considers the wreckage to be a gravesite.
-
There are other shipwrecks down there with bodies in them that people can dive on.
