Lutine bell, the bell of HMS
Lutine which was recovered after she sank in a heavy gale off the mouth of what was the Zuider Zee in October 1799. She was carrying a large amount of coin and bullion, and since this was private and not government money the burden of the loss fell on the
underwriters who had insured it. The bell was brought to the surface during
salvage operations and, since the underwriters who had borne the loss were members of
Lloyd's of London, it was taken to Lloyd's where it still hangs. It is rung whenever there is an important announcement to be made to the underwriters.
