The SS Mendi sank off the Isle of Wight in February 1917, resulting in the deaths of more than 600 South African Native Labour Corps workers en route to the Western Front. In 1974, a local diver and founder of the Shipwreck Centre and Maritime Museum on the Isle of Wight, Martin Woodward, discovered the Mendi. For over 30 years, BBC reporter Steve Humphrey had researched the bell's existence. After numerous contacts with individuals claiming to know its location, the SS Mendi bell was finally left at Swanage Pier in Dorset, UK, early one morning in June 2017. Learn more about this story on the BBC website and Historic England's site. The bell measured H 38.7 x W (lip diam.) 39.1 cm when it was scanned using a DAVID SLS-3 by the Maritime Archaeology Trust while on loan at the museum on September 21, 2017.
