The Bell?

An illustration by Henry Holiday to Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark (1876).

In the red frame:
The missing bell?

Blue inset (just fooling around a bit):
HMS Beagle Among Porpoises" (1830-1839?) by Robert Taylor Pritchett. The shapes of the vessels are pretty generic, but the lightning rod was a special feature of the HMS Beagle.
