About this ebook

 Looking at ship's bells. Most large sailing vessels in the Victorian era had at least one ships bell, conveniently having a ships name and port of registration engraved on it. Early bells may be dated without any ship's name.  Lloyds Lutine Bell has a date but a different ship's name on it.  These can identify a shipwreck site but bells found without lettering pose a different problem.  This book and its partner "Bells form Shipwrecks post 1830" offer indicators to look for in determining the nationality or date of a shipwreck site.  A guide for divers and archaeologists.
