Abstract:

The origin of the Albemarle's bell is unknown, although speculations are that it came from a church or school. After the war, it wound up in Worcester, Massachusetts in the possession of a Union chaplain. After his death it passed through a number of hands, and at one time it was in storage for forty years at the Worcester History Museum. The bell is now on loan to the Port O'Plymouth Museum and will be a focal point in the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Plymouth.
