This is where the bell was recovered from the engineroom. Look closely in the bottom right hand corner!! |

This isnt an optical ilussion YES it IS a Bell!!! Mischa Temple recovered it out of the engineroom. |

Close up view of the bell. Not very big but perfectly preserved. It even has the sweaty marks of the Russian crew on the rope!!!! |

Some of the many ceiling lights in the engineroom. |
