Bedford, Pennsylvania -
Ship Hotel, Noah's Ark - Where the Bell Went

As you know, the ship has burnt down, nothing left but black residue. I remember going there as a kid (1970s) with my parents. We lived fairly close to it in Greensburg, PA. I took my son there for him to see it -- but it was gone. I went home and called my brother and told him -- he already knew, and he told me he had the metal bell from the ship. He went up to show his wife the ship and seen it had burnt. They walked around and he found the ship's bell, black and crusty, so he took it home and cleaned it up.

We like to try and remember the "good ole days" and the bell helps with that! [Erik H., 03/08/2003]

[RA: Wow -- that's better than owning the bell from the Battleship Maine.]
