Description: | This watchbell is the only remaining part of the Royal Navy cruiser 'HMS Newcastle'. She was built in 1937 by Vickers Armstrong and Company at the Walker Naval Yard, Newcastle upon Tyne. During World War 2 she took part in battles off Italy and Burma. She was torpedoed, but survived the damage and continued to serve after the war. This bell signalled the beginning and end of a watch on board. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East made in the North East shipbuilding military | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
