NJ About Bell Buoys: Navigational buoys are floating objects anchored to the bottom of a body of water that serve as aids to navigation. Their distinctive shapes, colors, and other markings provide information indicating their purpose and how to navigate around them. The placement and maintenance of navigational buoys are essential to shipping, since they often provide the only guidance for channel locations, shoals, reefs, and other hazards. - Most navigation marks have a distinctive bell or sound activated by wave motion for recognition in fog. As the buoy rocks in the waves the hanging hammers strike the bell. About the artist- Fanny Myers Brennan (1921–July 22, 2001) was a French-American surrealist artist and painter.
