BATTLESHIP’S BELL FOR SEA SCOUTS
The shin’s bell of the battleship H.M.S. Nelson has been presented to the Sidmouth (Devon) Sea Cadet Corps, No. 306, by Captain E. B. K. Stevens, D. 5.0., D.S.C., R.N., who commanded the Nelson during her last full commission, and now commands the aircraft carrier H.M.S. Victorious.
Sidmouth has a cordial link with H.M.S. Nelson, and the local Sea Cadet Corps, whose training ship is appropriately named “Lord Nelson,” had very long standing associations with the ship when it was based at Portland. The bell, inscribed “Nelson 1927,” weighs 1281 b?., is 15 inches high and has a diameter of 19 inches. It was purchased from the Admiralty by Captain Stevens.
