NEW ZEALAND 1905 Large RNZN Museum

Ship's bell (for quarterdeck), impressed with "HMS New

Zealand 1905" and inscribed "To H.M.S. New Zealand by

the school children of her namesake colony - 1905". The

bell was gifted to the original HMS New Zealand in 1905.

Children were encouraged to raise funds towards the new

ship bearing their country's name. They started penny trails

and it is believed these coins were melted down and added

to the metal used to cast the bell. The first ship was

renamed Zealandia in 1911 when NZ purchased a battle

cruiser to bear the country's name. The bell was transferred

to HMS New Zealand upon its commissioning in 1912,

partly due to the efforts of Commander R.C. Davenport

who was aboard both the Zealandia and HMS NZ [see

documentation]. Was originally hung from a copper Maori

head. Bell has a large crack which has been repaired. Maori

decorative design has been partially worn away due to

polishing. A clapper is stored separately from the bell.

TAKAPU

Chrome plated working bell from the Inshore Survey Vessel

HMNZS Takapu (A 07). The bell is said to have been

discovered by a member of the public in shrubbery at a

park in New Plymouth (date unknown). The bell was passed

for return to the Naval Museum by a member of the public

via the Officer of the Day in HMNZS Canterbury when the

ship visited New Plymouth in April 2000. It is believed that

this bell was the working bell which was mounted on the

front screen of the vessel as there are no names inside the

rim. (At an inspection of the vessel carried out by myself in

March of this year it was noticed that this bell was missing).

The bell has many imperfections to the surface and the bell

rope is missing.

HMS WAKAKURA Medium RNZN Museum

Medium size brass bell inscribed "HMS WAKAKURA". This

bell was for many years used as a chapel bell for the Chapel

of Saint Christopher, until its transfer to the Museum in

1988. Its size (too large) would indicate that it is not from

the minesweeper of 1927 and most likely cast in the

Dockyard during the early 1950s. No clapper or bell rope.

No names inscribed inside rim.
