Bosuns' Calls
| In the days of sail, orders aboard ship were piped on the Bosun’s Call, whose high-pitched whistle could be heard against the strongest wind. The Regulation Call, still made for the world’s navies and training cadets, is made of brass and copper with hard-wearing electro-plated nickel finish (beware of cheap imitations!). The presentation and trophy versions are gold or silver-plated, or simply polished brass and copper, and suitably engraved. All Calls are 4" long, with matching 50" neckchain fitted with a swivel snap-hook. They are supplied in a presentation box, instruction leaflet and history. |

Ocean Range Ships' Bell
| Our ships' bells are manufactured in the finest tradition - sand-cast solid brass turned and polished to an immaculate sheen. The specification, materials and design are tightly controlled to meet maritime requirements, the 8" version being individually certificated and DoT approved for vessels of 8-20 metres. |

Schatz Ship's Bell Clock
| The first implementation of the "Ship's Bells" watchkeeping system - long before clocks - was a man, a sandglass and a bell! To fall asleep at this post was a serious offence, as it could throw the entire ship out of synch. When clocks became reliable, and a clever inventor linked one to a separate bell, the whole process was thus automated and vastly improved. In this spirit, we have linked a 5" diameter brass bell to a Schatz Royal Ocean clock mounted together on a mahogany-finish board in a wonderful display of nautical tradition. Board measures 17x8" |
