I need a little help with the history on the quarterdeck bell. We students at the AFSNCOA are presenting the school house a quarterdeck bell mounted on a plaque, and I would like to give a little more history than just ringing officers aboard and sounding GE. Thanks.

My first daughter was baptized in the Chilean Naval training tall ship ESMERALDA's bell. (My wife is Chilean). They also follow the British custom and engraved Ashley's name on the inside of the bell. They threw a big party afterward where much "pisco" was imbibed..and a little good 'ole American bourbon by myself...
