The ship's name is traditionally engraved or cast onto the surface the bell, often with the year the ship was launched as well. (a side boy is a member of an even-numbered group of seamen posted in two rows at the quarterdeck when a visiting dignitary boards or leaves the ship, historically to help him aboard) On naval vessels, bells additionally are rung as "boat gongs" for officers and dignitaries coming aboard or leaving the ship, in a number equivalent to the number of side boys to which the visitor is entitled. Ship's bells are also used for safety in foggy conditions, their most important modern use. It is a nautical euphemism for "finished". The term "Eight bells" can also be a way of saying that a sailor's watch is over, for instance, in his or her obituary. Some "ship's bell" clocks use a simpler system: It also allows the entire crew of a vessel to eat an evening meal, the normal time being at 1700 with First Dog watchmen eating at 1800. The odd number of watches aimed to give each man a different watch each day. The hours between 16:00 and 20:00 are so arranged because that watch (the "dog watch") was divided into two. Each watch would take its turn with the essential activities of manning the helm, navigating, trimming sails, and keeping a lookout. Most of the crew of a ship would be divided up into between two and four groups called watches. Bells would be struck every time the glass was turned, and in a pattern of pairs for easier counting, with any odd bells at the end of the sequence.Īt midnight on New Year's Eve sixteen bells would be struck – eight bells for the old year and eight bells for the new. When ships were run by sail power alone, watches were timed with a thirty-minute hourglass. Instead, there are eight bells, one for each half-hour of a four-hour watch. Unlike civilian clock bells, the strikes of the bell do not match the number shown on the dial of the clock.
