with moulded rim and shoulder, inscribed to front HAREWOOD / 1890 in black-filled lettering, clapper with sally, suspension loop with iron deckhead bracket attached, the bell -- 9 x 7in. (23 x 18cm.) excluding bracket

Built by Palmers' of Jarrow, Harewood registered 2,602 tons and was a typical 'tramp' steamer of the day. Sold in 1894, her name changed to Myrtledene in 1898 when it is assumed this bell was removed. She was still steaming under this name when, on 25th March, 1912 on passage from Sagunto to Rotterdam with a cargo of iron ore, she struck rocks off Portland Bill and became a complete loss.
