Diver Magazine – April 2014

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on this blog. We’ve been kind of busy since the arrival of Thomas.

My friend Steve Warren has written a very moving article in this month’s Diver Magazine about the filming trip we made a few years ago to visit the wreck of the Bowbelle in Madeira. We travelled with film maker Drew Sutton, a survivor of the Marchioness disaster keen to exorcise the demons.

Here are a few images from the expedition. All images © JP Trenque and Steve Warren.

Everything is still there inside the bridge. Here’s the VHF microphone.
Scratching the metal, the name “Bowbelle” can still clrearly be seen, even though the ship had been renamed “Bom Rey”.
