Bell Dec15 Nelson Presented Ringer Rope Solid Tyneside 15th 1928
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the moment of presentation of a solid silver bell to the HMS Nelson, a proud addition to the Royal Navy's Nelson-class battleships. The bell, which weighs an impressive 2000oz, was a gift from the people of Tyneside on the 15th of September, 1928. The HMS Nelson was one of two battleships of its kind built for the Royal Navy between the two World Wars, and this beautiful bell now holds a significant place in the ship's history. The bell, adorned with intricate engravings, sits atop a velvet-covered stand, with a navy blue rope wrapped around its base. The bell's ringer, a naval officer, stands proudly beside it, ready to strike the bell to signal orders or mark important occasions. The presentation of this solid silver bell was a testament to the strong connection between the people of Tyneside and the Royal Navy, a bond that continues to this day. This photograph, with its rich history and intriguing details, is a reminder of the proud naval traditions and the enduring spirit of community and patriotism.
