Following many years of actively spearfishing and diving
on shipwrecks (over 100 in NSW) I began a collection of post cards of
shipwrecks and began taking digital photos of items recovered from
Australian shipwrecks. This provided me with a number of photos of
bells from shipwrecks. By August 2008, I had over 10 bells which I
had eight printed as a set of Post Cards. The first sets were made
available at the NSW Post Card Collectors Fair on 31/8/2008.
These Post Cards sell for $1.25 each or $5 per set +pp.
The set is: ALBERTA, FAWN, HEREWARD, MAITLAND, MALABAR, MINMI,
UNDOLA and URANA.
.
Some bell photos that may be in the next set are: YESSABAR, MYOLA,
ENERGY, DUNBAR, GWYDIR, BOMBO, YONGALA, etc.
I have made a number of requests to the holders of other bells and
the response has been very slow.
In 2007, I produced a CATALOGUE OF AUSTRALIAN SHIPWRECK POST CARDS
(CASP) which has been received very well. It contains over 150
shipwrecks and about 40 items from wrecks. CASP costs $7 + $1 pp.
I had hoped to update CASP during 2008 but things have delayed it.
Still under development I am keen to be advised of post cards or
details on shipwreck bells for the future productions.
Remember, I attend the NSW Post Card Society Fairs held each three
months, where I receive much good feed back about my collecting.
