[Bell Historians] Bells lost at sea [2 Attachments]

[George Dawson]

This does not look like a regular founders bell. From the picture there is
no inscription? And is that a join line at the shoulder?

In other words the bell cannot be part of a 'peal'.

One of those bells lost when the Dunbar sank on 20th August 1857 (at the
entrance to Sydney harbour) was salvaged along with a number of others, St
John's church in Darlinghurst, Sydney has one of the bells, I am told a
second is located in a pub in Balmain, Sydney (still have to verify this),
the bell at St John's in Darlinghurst is rung 3 times each Sunday to
announce the Clergy have arrived at the church front door and the service is
about to begin, one of the 13 Harrington Tubular bells sounds at the same
time.
 
Photos available should anyone wish to see.

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 into the rocks at South 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
