|  Bell rings after seabed find
Quote:
SCUBA divers from Burntisland have uncovered the bell of a ship which sunk off the Fife coast more than 65 years ago.
Mark Blyth, proprietor of the Divebunker Scuba Centre in the town, and diving student Emma Smith, found the bell of the Royal Archer last month, embedded in the sea bed of the Forth.
The ship was sunk after being bombed in an air raid on June 3, 1941, and has since been lying about seven miles from Burntisland.
Mark, an experienced diving instructor from Burntisland, said: "While we were waiting on other divers, I could see part of the wreck and something which looked like a pipe, but it was actually the bell.
