This is why we can't have nice things.

What are people going to do with their relics anyway?

Possible reasons :

  • Braggging about having a relic.
  • Selling to people so the latter can brag about having a relic.
  • Bragging about how they don't respect the authorities.
  • Maybe magic spells.

But if you build a new ship around the relics of the original is it a new ship or is it the original one repaired?

Honestly. I remember on the Big Fat Quiz with Jimmy Carr, a hundred years ago people were given a small pick to chisel off a bit of Stonehenge to take home with them and my eyes got big as saucers in disbelief

If it didn't matter, no one would be taking it away piece by piece at all.

For one, let's let history be history,

and for two, somebody is going to get hurt or sick because they were picking that trash, and since it's state property, they'll sue the state and win.
