I knew Wally Gibbins since the 1950's. We were good friends. A few years before Wal passed away (2006) we formed a partnership to buy a large boat, sail to the Solomon Islands and continue the recovery of dumped World War 2 scrap non-ferrous metals from deep water.
I was able to buy a former prawn trawler and we began fitting it out with the required salvage equipment, namely a large grab bucket.
The project stalled as Wally became ill and eventually was shelved due to lack of support from other parties.

I've continued with my own interests which is mainly researching Australian shipwrecks.
Today I publish postcards showing pictures of shipwreck bells. It's amazing the interest this is creating.
It's all early days for me. Your input is invited as is any information of bells that have been recovered from Australian shipwrecks.
