This was supposed to go with that last post's notes. I'm not sure who owned Bellamena when she went down. Might have been the same fellow.

The Perceler was owned by South Bimini/Gun Cay folk legend Bruce Stanley Bethell (1883-1951.) His replacement mother ship was none other than the hulk SS Sapona.

Towed to Gun Cay from Miami in late August; holed in the September hurricane and had her stern snapped off by the October storm. She's still there too. Probably one of the most famous wrecks on the Banks. Rough season '26. Bethell never really recovered and didn't even get a song out of it.
