Click to Expand Historical Significance

Made from solid brass, the ship bell is a beacon for sailors and a symbol of the pride they take in their craft and service. Traditionally it is the ship’s cook and his staff’s responsibility to polish and shine the solid brass bells, keeping their honor along with that of the ship. With the names of ships inscribed on the brass bells, as well as the names of any children who may have been christened with them, antique brass bells were a testament to life at sea and the connection sailors have with their ships. Because these bells were crafted from sturdy brass, they are often the only means of identifying a sunken ship. For ancient ships, the brass bells are often the only pieces capable of giving any indication as to the ship’s history. A ship, it is considered, is incomplete with its bell; the bell an essential tool that is required, but also a symbolic gesture that shows great pride, virtue, and excellence.
