Ships Bell
Ships Bell

Does anyone know what the bell on a ship is for?
Like in Pirates of the Caribbean
and possibly Pearl Harbour
they ring it in when they are under attack. is that what it means? mayday? or we are under attack? or what?
The bell is sounded to tell time. 8 bells marks the end of a watch, or 4 hours. The bell is sounded every 30 minutes, starting with one ring, then 2 and so forth. For a general alarm it is rung continuously-collision, fire, general quarters, etc.
Regards,
Dan
