In 1994 Nick Icorn brought the original Siebe/Deane 1831 helmet (recognized as the first diving helmet) to the HDS meeting in California. Jim Boyd is shown holding the Deane hat at Leslie Leaney's home.
Brill, I've have a bronze model of this helmet, I bought it at a charity auction at the National Hyperbaric Centre in Aberdeen Scotland, it was the 20th anaversary so the money raised went to a childrens hospital.....I've got Siebe 12 Bolt, un used tinned copper I'll post some photo's, hate to say it but alot of my "stuff" will have to go......keep the ex in the life style she has been acustomed.....take care "Woody"
