A timeball tower works by raising and lowering a large metal or wooden ball on a pole at a specific time each day to signal the exact time to ships in the harbor. The ball is typically raised at a set time (e.g. 1pm) and dropped precisely at the time of noon or 1pm to allow ship captains to synchronize their chronometers for navigation.
