Until turning east, this ship had a bell (6)

I believe the answer is:

lutine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this ship had a bell' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'until turning east' is the wordplay.
'turning' indicates an anagram.
'east' becomes 'E' (synonyms).
'until' anagrammed gives 'lutin'.
'lutin'+'e'='LUTINE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for lutine that I've seen is " The bell at Lloyd's".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
