Alice M. Colburn inquiry- new member

[CWile]

Hi all-
I have signed up to Scuba Board looking for information on a specific salvage dive. I will also post this request in the main forum section. I am not a diver but am looking for information on the Alice M. Colburn bell.
I am looking for any information on the schooner Alice M. Colburn which sank off the coast of Manchester Massachusetts on January 4, 1923. This was just off the eastern end of Little Egg Rock. My grandfather was the engineer on this boat. The crew all survived. Per an account by Raymond Bates in his book, "Shipwrecks North of Boston" in 1992 divers from western Massachusetts recovered a 200 pound bronze bell from the wreck site. (This is an exempt dive site.) I have spoken to Mr. Bates as I am searching for this bell. Unfortunately he did not have any other information on the bell. I have spent a number of years looking for the bell and was wondering if anyone on this site might have any knowledge of its where about or heard anything about this bell.
Thank you!
Chris Wile
