A SHPS BELL FOR LEWES FROM DESTROYER LEWES.


HISTORY OF LEWES, SUSSEX COUNTY, DELAWARE

1950

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 '.
