With your help, I may be able to put the bell into the caring hands of
the family, decendents  of the ship's Master, John Todd.
The bell was recovered around July 1999, from the wreck, 31/2 miles NE
off the Bell Rock lighthouse. It is engraved TARNWATER 1919.
The official receiver of wrecks does not have the information ,  who
dived on the ship, So please try and put me in contact with the person
concerned.
Both his daughter [my mother] and the eldest son still survive, both
are in their seventies and to put this item into their hands would be a
huge thrill and privilage. Just recently by chance, a picture was found
on www. rhiw .com, of the Bay Fisher, when it was in the last owners
markings, on the deck you can make out two children, with their mother
and father on the bridge. These figures must be my mother and her
brother because only the ship captian's were allowed to have his family
on board. The picture must have been taken around 1937/39 when they
were on holiday with their parents.

Please help if you can, or post this request to other diver's and
clubs.

Thank you,
Brian Pritchard [todd]
