  • The Ship Bells in the Bute Museum
    56 Transactions of the Buteshire Natural History Society vol XXVII (2008) The Ships’ Bells in the Bute Museum: their Provenance and History Ian Maclagan The three ships’ bells in the Bute Museum are connected to each other and to HMS Varbel, the name given to The Kyles of Bute Hydropathic in Port Bannatyne which served as the headquarters of the 12th Submarine Flotilla during World War II. The 12th Submarine Flotilla operated Britain’s midget submarines and human torpedoes or chariots. The oldest of the three bells1 is of solid brass. Its clapper has an elaborately knotted rope handle. The bell is mounted in a varnished mahogany stand or tabernacle2 across the top of which is carved in block capitals HMS Varbel 1942. The letters and numbers are picked out in gold on a mid blue background. Inscribed on the bell in block capitals is the name of the ship to which it originally belonged, namely London Merchant of 1923. The bell from SS London Merchant. The Kyles of Bute Hydropathic – HMS Varbel 1942 - 1945. 57 In the middle, age-wise, is the bell3 from the first HMS Rothesay (J19), a second World War Bangor class minesweeper. This bell is of solid brass and on it is inscribed the ship’s name and the date of her construction 1940. The reverse has a Board of Ordnance stamp. Also in the museum are the ship’s crest4 and the ship’s battle honours5, which were carried by the second ship to bear the name. The minesweeper saw service in the English Channel from her commissioning until 1945, off the North African coast in 1942/43, at Sicily and Salerno in 1943 and at Anzio and off the South of France in 1944.6 Rothesay was broken up in 1950 by T.W.
