HMS Guerriere Bell On Display in Rhode Island-- Part 4: Two Other Connections

A SECOND CONNECTION: One of the USS Constitution's officers in the battle was Silas Talbot, great-grandfather of Arnold Talbot who once owned the Heartside.

A THIRD CONNECTION: Frederick Sayles, another Hearthside owner, removed the bell but kept it in storage and it was passed down through the generations of his family.

I wonder how the USS Constitution Museum came to own the Guerriere's bell?
