Description
Plymouth, Massachusetts
"The Mayflower II had a bell in its center that was used to keep time. It was rung every half hour. The first time it was rung once, then twice, and so on until at 3 1/2 hours it rang 8 times. Then they began again with one ring." ~ History - Boston Tips
The bell was also used to warn the ship's passengers of an emergency.
