The Bell of SPV Star Clipper
The Bell of the tall ship SPV Star Clipper. The photograph was taken near sunset and therefore the light gives a golden glow. The clapper of the brass bell is visible and tied back to stop the bell ringing due to the motion of the ship. Behind the bell is the rim of a "filled in" porthole. A ship's bell is used to indicate a change of watch and to notify other vessels of navigation intentions. The following information has been taken from Wikipedia : A ship's bell is used to indicate the time aboard a ship and hence to regulate the sailors' duty watches. The bell itself is usually made of brass or bronze and often has the ship's name engraved or cast on it. The ship's cook (or his staff) traditionally has the job of shining the ship's bell. Ship's bells are also used for safety in foggy conditions, their most important modern use.
