I was happy to locate this chart. Would this have been accurate in the GaOP? It would seem so.

Ships Time in bells chart :D

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help....

I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice!

My inner voice sometimes has an accent!

My wont? A delicious rip in time...

As early as the 15th Century, a bell was used to sound the time onboard a ship.

Got this off of a site....

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.

Git up of your asses, set up those glasses I'm drinking this place dry.
