[Bell Historians] Bells lot at sea

[George Dawson]

The Toronto 5 from Whitechapel in 1861 were for St James. They were
dispatched with deadstocks, frame and ringing machine.

>From this we may deduced that they were a chime.

Tenor 5.3.11 incidentally.

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.

I know of two peals of bells lost at sea.  A peal destined for St. Patrick's
Parramatta, at that time a suburrb of Sydney, was lost when the Dunbar
crashed intto the rocks at Soutth Head in 1857; and a peal for Roma in
Queeensland was lost in 1939 due to eenemy action..   

 

On completion of a large project I am currently working on I will contribute
more to this debate.   Jack
