Finding the ship's bell of the HMCS Trentonian in 68m

[Deep Wreck Diver]

Approximately three weeks ago in 68m, I found the ship's bell from His Majesty's Canadian Ship (HMCS) Trentonian which was sunk on 22 Feb 1945 with the loss of 6 lives. Last Monday I was able to return it to the Royal Canadian Navy at a small ceremony which was one of the proudest moments of my diving career.

Lots of people have dived this wreck many times looking for the bell so I was very pleased to spot it!

Full story on my latest video!

Thank you from a former RCN sailor, BZ indeed

Fascinating story, and a true gesture of goodwill to the nation of Canada.

Congrats on such a memorable dive and bravo for turning it back over to the Royal Canadian Navy!

Thanks all especially as not everyone thinks it should have come up!

That's great - I'd be really interested in which of my videos you like the most (& the least!)

The RCN seemed to think so and as a war grave it's technically theirs right?
