Trivia
- The clock tower's model is currently on display at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.
- The name "Chimey" is not the canon name used to refer to the clock tower, but rather the result of fans mishearing Denny Doherty's narration of "It was chiming" (confirmed by looking at the encoded subtitles for "Big Harbour Fools Day"). The name has been pervasive enough over the years that the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic lists the model's name as "Chimey" on their website.
- The clock tower's bell chime is a stock recording of London's Big Ben.
