Why does the ships cook shine the ships bell?

Someone has to, and the main reason it's on the ship is to call the sailors to meals. Actually, the Ship's bell is used to alert the bridge, or the pilot house of a collision. It is usually mounted on the ship's Forecastle or Foc'sle. Pronounced Folk sul. In low visibility conditions, the forward look out would ring the Ship's bell to alert the pilot house of an impending collision. It has nothing to do with calling the Sailor's to chow. As far as shining the bell, In the 17th century (or there abouts), was a cook named Charlie Noble. Old Chuck liked to have his galley chimney shined every morning. So the tradition continued into the early 20th century until the coal fired cook stove gave way to the electric range. So needing something to shine, it became the cooks job to shine the ships' bell.
