Mauretania, Olympic, and Titanic were equipped to receive submarine bell
sounds.

"The ship [Mauretania] is fitted with receiving apparatus for submarine
signals on the system introduced by the Submarine Signal Co., whose
signal bells have now been, and are being, installed at a large number
of lightships, lighthouses and points of danger."

"Both the Olympic and Titanic have been fitted with the Submarine Signal
Co.'s apparatus for receiving submarine signals. With this system the
sound of submarine bells is received through the hull of the vessel. The
bells are established by the Trinity House and the lighting authorities
of the United States, and over 120 are now in operation."

Both passages are from The Shipbuider. The magazine re-published their
special issues on Mauretania and Olympic / Titanic in a single volume.
