BRITANNIC SURVIVORS

Hi!

It is also worth noting that he bought the wreck in 1977 from Mark Bamford (Banford), who in turn had received ownership of the wreck from the British Government.

Best regards,

Mark.
 
Hi, Mark:

I think you might have the dates mixed up. Mark B. (not Simon) bought the wreck from the British government in 1977, a year after the Cousteau expedition. Simon bought the wreck from him in 1996.

Hi Erik!

Yes you are right -- that's what I meant, Mark Bamford aquired the wreck in 1977, Mills bought it for £15,000 or so in August(?) 1996.

Apologies for the mistake -- it comes from trying to remeber everything at this time of the morning!

Best regards,

Mark.
