[M] THE SHIP’S BELL FROM THE DESTROYER/MINELAYER U.S.S. DORAN, 1919/1939
THE SHIP’S BELL FROM THE DESTROYER/MINELAYER U.S.S. DORAN, 1919/1939
heavily cast in brass with moulded rim with threaded suspension ring to top – 16in. (40.5cm.) diam; 37kg
This bell represents something of a puzzle. Launched as the U.S.S. Bagley in 1919, she was then placed in reserve in 1920. When hostilities resumed, the Bagley name had been reassigned and so, between December 1939 and September 1940, she was called Doran, but in September 1940 she was handed over to the Royal Navy as H.M.S. St. Mary's and was broken up in 1946.
Sold for £1,364
Estimated at £800 - £1,200
