are four photos of a 10.5-inch diameter bronze bell
that was reportedly fished out of the Columbia River
in the western USA about 60 years ago. No further
provenance is known. It bears the date of 1822, but
no other inscription. It has a tang and a cast-in
clapper staple, but the clapper is missing. Since the
first steamboat arrived on the Columbia River in 1835,
and regular steamboat traffic did not develop until
the 1850s, it seems unlikely that this was a ship's
bell. My guess is that it was part of the cargo of a
wrecked steamboat, in the process of being recycled
from its original use elsewhere. But where that might
have been I have no clue.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
