For those who think it is grave robbing, I would argue ships bells being placed in maritime museums should be an exception. It honors, not insults their memories. Those who do so for profit should die at sea with their plunder...
May the Crews of both Hood and Bismarck be remembered with no hate anymore as two crews that gave it all.
For those who complain about people having money, Paul Allen provided for the recovery of the bell when government couldn't or wouldn't. God Bless Paul Allen, RIP.
Can’t imagine the survivors guilt Mr. Briggs must have felt. Poor gentleman but a true hero. Just him saying if I heard it correctly when he said “I should be with her.... I should be” that just hit me hard. Just looking at him when he says that, you see he is reliving that exact experience. RIP Mr. Briggs.
Rest in Peace Ted Briggs. (1 March 1923 - 4 October 2008) Last of three survivors of the H.M.S. Hood
I have German and British family. My grandmother told me about my grandfather and said he served on the Bismarck. He never survived WW2 I would have loved to have talked to him about it.
I'm a cousin of a Bismarck radio operator I give my condolences to the family of the sailors on the Hood
I'm ex crew f24..ex ship British navy
A ships bell should be treated like a battle standard, the one part of a lost vessel returned home
If a ship goes down and it’s possible, the bell needs to be recovered. You need to release those sailors from watch.
My uncle was a wireless operator on HMS Prince of Wales on that fateful day. He would survive the sinking of his ship in '42, and spend 4 years in a Japanese POW camp. His witnessing the destruction of Hood haunted him until the end of his days. I hope he now rests more peacefully.
Peace to the sailors of HMS Hood, Cheers from Germany. I hope one day they also bring back Bismarks bell home :-(
All honor to the crew of HMS Hood. Always remembered, with a debt we cannot repay. From Pennsylvania, USA. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Great that they recovered the bell, my uncle, a Boy Telegraphist was aboard when it was sunk, aged 18, William Robert McRae
My grandfather served on the hood but disembarked before her fateful battle,he went on to fight on another ship as a gunner,suffered shrapnel wounds and was decorated by the King for gallantry.
The mighty Hood went down fighting. God bless her and her valiant crew. Those same sentiments for the battleship Bismarck and her brave crew.
I was working at an empty house several years ago, and had to get the floor boards up. Under the lino were old
A big thank you to Paul Allen for funding the expedition, to find the HMS Hood. What a great thing to do. RIP Paul
Ted Briggs lived about 10 houses away from my Dad in Fareham, he was an amazing guy and always up for a chat, I think he was the last of the survivors.
As a dane I am kind of proud of how the crew of the Triton helped with the service to the Hood, and how it made the people there feel about it. At least they could do something for the people who lost someone back then.
