Ships Bell (Navy)

A Ships Bell is the early Naval concept of time. Nearby the Bell would typically be an Hourglass, at which when the glass was emptied, the bell would be struck a particular round of times to indicate watches, meals, attacks or otherwise.

Most navies use the general Gilnean concept of Eight Bells. (Seen below.) it is the most widely used structure in Navies around Azeroth.
