Ship's Bell

This image is a photo of the ship's bell on the ocean bottom before recovery. This bell is likely the bell signaled by lookout Frederick Fleet when he saw the iceberg that would sink the Titanic. The photograph below is the bell after recovery.

This is a photograph of the ship's bell after recovery in 1987. Note the difference in corrosion (shown by the line from the upper right of the bell to the lower left) due to decades of laying in the sediment. To see another artifact before and after recovery, click on the "Next" button below.
