The ship's bell is an instrument that carries with it centuries of history. In ancient times, in fact, it was used to mark the passage of time and to tell the time. Nowadays, however, the main function of the ship's bell is to sound the alarm in difficult situations aboard the vessel (such as a fire) or to signal one's position and gait in case of fog or limited visibility.
