It's true, rope and jug mooring on shipwrecks are illegal in the eyes of the DNR- But luckily for the most part they ignore them and allow us divers to put them on and leave them there.  If there are complaints from fishermen, or boaters, or whoever, then they are obliged to cut them off.  The most conscientious way to "hook" a wreck is to drop a buoy when you see it on your bottom finder, then send a diver down to cautiously set the anchor into the wreck. 

Don't worry too much about Port Washington, I'm working on getting permanent, permitted shipwreck moorings there, but might not be permitted until next spring- so stand by.
