Bronze Bell
"1000 Pounder"
This bell, salvaged from a sunken sea buoy at the Charleston Harbor entrance channel, was minted in 1911 for the U.S. Lighthouse Service (USLHS). The 1000 Pounders were used as fog signals on harbor entrance buoys, on lightships, and at some lighthouses.
Marker is on South Peninsula Drive south of Ocean Way Drive.
