Do you have a photo of that bell which shows that bell or one like it on a JFK boat? Not various pictures of the boat from different angles with similar wood but a picture of that bell on the JFK boat?
I'm willing to believe the same bells with the same engraving can be found on both boats but I have only found that bell with that engraving on the boat I posted.
And the other links I included with my original post also confirm that bell with that engraving is on that boat.
Here is the link to my original post.
As I said before I believe either someone made an honest mistake with their attribution of the bell or they're trolling.
One Freeper has found a German language website with photo of the bell on the Eye of the Wind, with a caption in German indicating it is the bell that was critically featured in the movie "White Squall". . . which, since the German site is promoting current cruises on the ship, implies the movie company made the bell for the movie due to script requirements when they refitted it and it was left when they finished the shooting.
The Kennedy attribution remains unproved, one way or the other. The photo claimed to have been from JFK’s yacht appears to actually be the Eye of the Wind/Albatross movie bell. . . but another photo of a brass bell was shown with the same inscription in a different place located on the "soundbow", which is the area close to the lip, the opening at the base. . . it was an older, thicker looking bell. In my opinion, it was either the original inscribed bell that went down with the Albatross, or it was the bell being attributed to the Kennedy yacht.
I STILL think the adage on the bells is from a far older source than the 20th Century. It just doesn’t have the cadence of English spoken in the mid 1900s. It feels more Elizabethan. . . Like something a military commander would say just before Battle. . . It might be something from Mallory, Le Mort de Arthur, or something of that period. . . Perhaps Melville. . .
