GREAT BRITAIN. S.S. Sirius Medal, ca. 1898.
9.56 mm; 468.11 gms. An interesting fifteen line inscription on a medal formed from the salvaged pump rod of the S.S. Sirius. This ship was the first passenger steamer to cross the Atlantic. The Sirius sank off the coast of Ireland after nearly a decade of service. Fifty-one years later, the wreck was salvaged and this medal was created from the pump rod. Comes in an original box from Samuel Mason LTD of Birmingham. Box severely damaged. EXTREMELY FINE.
