The Liberty Bell was originally cast at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London. Ordered by the Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly, it was shipped across the Atlantic Ocean and arrived in Philadelphia in August 1752. Shortly after its arrival, however, the bell cracked while being tested and had to be recast locally.
