Whilst diving in the English Channel i found a ships bell. Now it gets interesting as the bell is from the Orchomene sunk off of port elizabeth in 1892. The wreck was fro a freighter sunk in 1942 by a German mine!!!
I wondered if you had anything in your archives referring to this. I discovered that the SS tTartar returned the crew to the uk, but no other records can i find
