Author(s) Howard Nathan AbstractIn my chambers of the Supreme Court of Victoria, the cedar desk glows with healthy old age and the warmth of 130 years. Handsome, light, but the timber is soft, requiring care. I answered a call from an unnamed person who offered to sell me a family artefact of unique quality. Further enquiry revealed the vendor had on offer the bell from the cedar-built, four-masted barque Rosetta Joseph. I told him I could not possibly buy the object as to do so would contravene the Shipwrecks (Preservation) Act. My caller said: 'Don't you worry about that Your Honour. I am the local sergeant of police.'
