Provo’s Liberty Bell
This ship’s bell is from the valiant USS Wasatch, flagship of the seventh fleet under Admiral Thomas C Kincaid. The ship is famous for its outstanding service in the south pacific during World War II.
Official Navy records state that during the battle of Leyte, “Admiral Kincaid’s flagship was the hub around which the sea, land, and air campaign raged.”
Through the efforts of U.S. Senator Wallace F Bennett, the ship’s bell was obtained for the Provo July Forth Celebration, Inc., a civic group which organized Provo’s Independence Day activities from 1939 to 1952.
As a patriotic monument, the bell was presented by this group for the people of Provo and the Wasatch Front on July 4, 1972.
