The Bells Of Sunda Strait- David Burchell

"Dave Burchell never could resist a challenge. He has had to face a lot of them since losing a leg in boyhood. The Bells of Sunda Strait were something different. The idea of them nagged at him from the moment he realised that H.M.A.S. Perth and the U.S.S. Houston, lying on the seabed since their battle with the Japanese Navy, might be reached by skindiving. .Beneath him lay the huge hulk of the Perth.his story is that of his attempts to salvage the ship's bell, and of how he managed to raise various souvenirs from the ship. Working in constant danger and difficulty, he was impelled by what became an almost mystical experience; the growing feeling of kinship with those who had perished in the ship, and that he was carrying out a tribute to their memory."
