I was surprised to see the Sublimnos diving bell sitting outside Ducks dive this weekend as I drove by rusting away this is terrible as this bell plays an important role in canada's underwater exploration heritage and should be in a museum or given or sold to those persons who have the ability to restore it and place it in a Ontario based museum for all to see.
That was answered in an article in the Canadian Diver Magazine a little while ago, I need to dig up the issue for the details. Apparently there is a dispute about who actually owns it, and therefore what can be done with it.
At least it's not submerged and covered with zebra mussels like it was for a number of years. Agree that we should be more active about keeping Canadian (diving) history alive and well-known.
*edit* the text of the article Roastbeef links to was used in Diver Magazine, plus a lot of neat photos that are not on that site.
There is progress being made to restore Sublimnos & return it to Tobermory for display, thanks to the efforts of one of it's originators, and to the generosity of the folks @ Duck's.
