I believe it was a dive to SV Aracan, about 55m, the boat with divers was a reputable Portland dive boat. Missing diver most likely not found.

Sorry, wrong thread.

You seem to be referencing something about UK diving on a different thread. There is a pin dish & vesta with paintings of the ship for sale, altho I wonder why anyone would group a sewing accessory with a cup...?

Ship S.V. Aracan (1851) T. & J. BROCKLEBANK, Pin Dish & Vesta, Royal Worcester | eBay

Aracan was carrying a general cargo to Hong Kong. The pin dish is dated around the 1960's and the vesta maybe from a later period. Vesta 6cm x 3.5cm approx.

Aracan, built 1854, lost 1874 in a collision.

Actually it should be the ship in your eBay link, at least from what I see in one wreck database.

The diver was my husband. Highly qualified with over 25 years experience. He had been diving the SS Arcana and had ascended to 15 metres .

We are certainly sorry for your loss. We have this Accidents forum to try to learn to prevent more among us. If you would care to share what happened to him after he ascended that far, it would be greatly appreciated, but only if you want to. I do hope that you are discussing this more fully with someone close to you there and/or a grief counselor as you are certainly a victim in this as well.
