Hello George,<br>
<br>
Thanks for that information. That is way more than I knew before and
confirms the rumour. I wonder what ship and exactly where they were
lost?<br>
<br>
I guess that after the loss of this chime, Toronto St. James ordered
the present 9 bell chime from Meneely & Co. of Watervliet, West
Troy, NY. They were installed in 1866, tenor nearly 5,000 lbs. Info
from Meneely & Co's. "Book on Bells", about 1912.<br>
<br>
Best wishes<br>
<br>

<p>Although I have never been able to confirm this, a ring of bells
was lost
when a ship went down in the St. Lawrence. They were reportedly
destined
for Toronto.<br>
