I know its not Titanic but this is so unusual I hope you'll excuse one digression.
We are very excited to have today taken delivery of a large collection of vintage ship's earthenware crockery dating from the late 1940s. This is in immaculate condition and is offered on a first-come-first-served basis.
According to the National Maritime Museum this was in service from 1950 until about 1970. It was recovered from the RMS Windsor Castle which was part of the famous Latsis fleet. It found its way to the Windsor Castle from its original home onboard SS Strathmore and SS Stratheden, which were originally owned by P&O, but later purchased by Latsis.
Both the Strathmore and Stratheden were built by Vickers for the India to Australia run. When these ships were scrapped their best crockery was moved to the Windsor Castle, which was the magnate Latsis's favourite ship.
Never quibble guarantee and free returns
