Lot 137: SILVER PLATED DISH FROM THE RMS HIGHLAND CORRIE OF THE NELSON LINE

Very decorative sweet dish from the old steamship RMS Highland Corrie from the Nelson Line Shipping Company. It has a superb distinctive lace work pattern around the edge and is in a great condition and it has the ships name engraved in the centre with the size of the dish being 5" x 3" (14cm x 9.5cm). The vessel tragically sank in 1917 making this item a very old and rare piece.

[The British steamship the RMS Highland Corrie was torpedoed without warning on May 16 1917. Six members of the crew and two passengers were killed by the explosion. Besides a crew of 86 she carried 40 passengers, several of who were women.]
