Nautical Bells
Nautical
bells have always been associated with their vessels & many sailors
consider the sound of the bell to be the soul of the ship. These bells have
been used aboard ships as a means of announcing the time and keeping the
boat running smoothly and on schedule. They have been used as a signal for
danger, as clocks and for instructions to the crew. In today's world, these
are taken as great functional decorations for the home, bar, patio,
restaurant or boat. Nautical bells are still used aboard passenger, training and naval vessels where the tradition stays alive and are a great accessory to bring beauty to the ship as well as to provide a means of communication to the people on board. The decorative nautical bells add charm and elegance to any decor and each bell has a distinctive sound.
Generally, manufactured in brass and bronze, these nautical bells come complete with mounting arms and fastenings.

These can prove to be an ideal gift for person who loves the sea or things with a nautical theme.
