A SHIPS BELL FOR LEWES
In 1940 folks of Lewes
watching the Delaware Breakwater saw a flock of old
World War I Navy
destroyers steaming toward the Capes, four stackers they
were,
flush decks, bound to
Britian. One of them was the ' Lewes ', that went into British
escort duty. Now, ten
years later, the ' Lewes ' is to be scrapped and Lewes,
Delaware
will get her 'ships bell
'.
