The Manchester-by-the-Sea Library clock is old and esteemed, and is currently out for maintenance to Chelsea Clock, of Chelsea, MA. Master clock workers will be repairing this fine clock and returning it to the clock tower later this fall. The Trustees of the Library voted to have Chelsea Clock examine and maintain the clock after thorough consideration of several reputable New England clock smiths.
