Bell Tolls Ceremony

Sunday, September 13, 2026 at 10 AM
First Fed Commons

Join us in honoring the mariners and community members we have lost over the past year. The Bell Toll Ceremony will take place in the First Fed Commons, led by renowned sailmaker and mariner Carol Hasse, who will read the names of those who have crossed the bar.

โ€œCrossing the barโ€ is a term used by mariners and other military that refers to the transition from life to death. A bell will ring eight times, to mark the end of the departedโ€™s watch on this world.

Please useย this formย to share a loved one's name, and they will be added to the list that will be read during the ceremony. If youย have any questions, please contactย legacy@nwmaritime.org.
