Tŷ Gwyn & the Bronze Bell Wreck

More about the book

This book commences with some background history of Barmouth, West Wales. It then tells the story of a Historic wreck found just off the remote beach of Talybont. The shipwreck site shows that this ship was carrying marble blocks from Tuscany, possibly to finish off the building of St Paul's Cathedral. Now called the Bronze Bell Wreck as the true name of the ship is unknown, its artefacts are housed in a Museum in Barmouth. Tŷ Gwyn museum is supported by Gwynedd County Council and the artefacts within have been studied to determine more about the Bronze Bell Wreck mysteries. This book is an attempt to identify the ship's nationality and name and explain some of its mysteries.
