Great expense was involved in the casting of many of these roof bells and many were ornate in design. There was a lot of silver mixed in the metal of the big bell on the Chalmette to enhance it's tonal qualities.

Tapping the roof bell by the captain or mate as a packet approached a landing gradually fell into disuse. But the use of the roof bell at the time of departure still continues.
