    The Chelsea "ship's clock", from about 1947, was given to me a few years back by a friend who was cleaning out his Mom's house. Solid bronze, the little bugger weighs a ton!
    The big Seth Thomas, from about 1910 was taken off a New Brunswick freighter some time back, its just back from the shop (again) and was just bolted back onto the "bulkhead" about ten minutes ago..... now I just need to dig up the key!

    1952 Chelsea
    This clock was a gift to J.L. Latimer (my grandfather). Tanker 223680 was originally built in 1924 as the Boston Socony. It became part of Magnolia Oil Company and renamed the J L Latimer in the 50s.
