Additional Description: "The ship’s bell, now on display in Port Newark, has been with the Institute since 1846, when it hung in the belfry of the first floating chapel. It was recovered from the ill-fated steamboat Atlantic, which sank off the Connecticut shore on its maiden voyage. The bell’s urgent ringing could be heard along shore all night – even, according to legend, after the Atlantic had vanished beneath the waves."
