U.S. Cutter Tallapoosa 1915 (Bell)

The ship's name is traditionally engraved or cast onto the surface of the bell, often with the year the ship was launched as well. If a ship's name is changed, maritime tradition is that the original bell carrying the original name will remain with the vessel. A ship's bell is a prized possession when a ship is broken up[2] and often provides the only positive means of identification in the case of a shipwreck.
