This is the story of when bells come home. For hundreds of years, bells have accompanied navies and merchant fleets across the world. A practical and symbolically-important instrument onboard the vessel, a ship’s bell signals the time, indicates the position of the ship in heavy fog, honors lost sailors, and may even be used as a makeshift baptismal font. “A ship’s bell, foremost, establishes the rhythm of a ship,” said Rear Admiral Warren Smith, Commander of the New York Naval Militia. “It is used for many purposes, but it is a reference point for life aboard ship.”
