Dorian Lasseter Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 As early as the 15th Century, a bell was used to sound the time onboard a ship.

JohnnyTarr Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 At first that bell is very anoying when it was used. But I got used to it soon enough. Then you don't even really hear it.
