[Bell Historians] FW: HMS Beagle bell

[Richard Offen]

She was launched at Woolwich in 1820, so possibly a Whitechapel bell?   The
ship was broken up in 1870, but further than that I don't know.

 

I could however ask one of our congregation at Christ Church, Claremont, who
is a world-renowned expert on Charles Darwin.   He might have some clues.

I am researching the bell of HMS beagle on which Charles Darwin made his
great adventures, and wondered if you might have recourse to some
information. I know it is distant from your regular bell casting and
installation work, but it is difficult to know who to ask about such
matters. I would be grateful if you had any idea on how I could pursue
this interest. Cheers, Anton Hasell.
