Need help identifing a ships bell

[CaribbeanDiver]

All of the other artifacts make me believe this it is an early **** **** **** ***** **.

"W" should not be the first letter of the name of the ship, unless I am mistaken. Also, there is a large space after the "W" so it does not look like that would be the name. The rest of the bell is missing, but we are looking for it like crazy.

Does anyone feel the "W" may stand for West Indies Fleet? Any info is appreciated!!!

The good stuff is on the top shelf Maybe you guys need to come over to help me get rid of a few of the bottles so we have a better view of the bell.... lol

The bell, although just a little more than half there, weighs about 70lbs!

Has the bottom piece been cleaned? or the pieces found at different times. The difference in color is odd.

All found at different times, and the bottom is so heavy it was deep, deep in the sand. The other two were only about a foot down.
