Sea surrenders ring 89 years on, found by diver & returned to family
Quote:
When Stanley Cubiss perished on board a naval warship the sea swallowed up hope of a future together with his sweetheart Florence.
But 89 years later, a symbol of their love has been found buried at the bottom of the sea.
The engraved engagement ring was very nearly lost forever but it has now been returned to the sailor's family in North Yorkshire in almost perfect condition.
The gold band was found by amateur diver Peter Brady, 51, who spotted the ring during a routine dive around the wreck of HMS Opal, off the coast of the Orkney Islands.
At first he thought it was a piece of the ship's machinery, but on closer inspection a loving inscription was revealed with the words "To Stanley from Flo, 6 March 1916". ........

I guess in this case I don't mind the artifact being taken because it was returned to the owner.
