All I can confirm is that the Honeyfitz had a silver bell. Cannot tell if it has an inscription on it. Maybe just another rabbit hole.

I would point out that JFK would not have had too much time to do a major refit to the Presidential Yacht during his time in office. He only renamed it. . . I very much doubt he would have had even the bell replaced. That would have been odd. This yacht was refitted first for Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s from a WWI mine sweeper.

I saw it being restored from an almost total wreck about ten years ago after it was found IIRC in Sausalito, half-sunk, and rotting away. It was towed to Stockton to be rebuilt and restored to the 1930s floating palace of the Roosevelt era.

Do you have a pic of the Honeyfitz bell?

Thanks.
