Ship's bell on Gloucester schooner fisherman?


Recommended Posts

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.

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

PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.   Click on http://trafalgar.tv   There is no cost other than the 30 seconds of your time.  THANK YOU

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.
