juhu Posted September 7, 2021 #1 Posted September 7, 2021 Hi all, may be very unimportant question, still: am building Bluejacket's Smuggler Gloucester schooner. Upon several other additions I wonder, was there any proper ship's bell located somewhere on the deck? Here is the shot of some renovated vessel I guess. Would be the bell's location on the samsons' post appropriate also for the period ship? Thanks a lot. thibaultron, Keith Black and BobG 3 "A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor."

allanyed Posted September 7, 2021 #2 Posted September 7, 2021 Check out the photos of the Ernestina (nee Effie M. Morrissey) at the Library of Congress website. This is at least one example of a Gloucester schooner with a bell as it shows in several photos, including https://www.loc.gov/resource/hhh.ma1719.photos/?sp=15 Allan BobG, juhu, thibaultron and 1 other 4

allanyed Posted September 8, 2021 #4 Posted September 8, 2021 Juhu Forgot to mention, the bell is also shown in the inboard profile forward drawing at that website as well. There are 22 drawings of her in the drawing gallery, including deck layouts at various periods from being a fisherman to being an Arctic explorer. https://www.loc.gov/resource/hhh.ma1719.sheet?st=gallery Allan thibaultron 1
