An original WSL china bowl from the wreck of White Star Line ship, SS Arabic.
S.S. Arabic was the first White Star Liner passenger ship to be sunk during WWI, having served the Liverpool to New York and Liverpool to Boston routes. On 19 August 1915, the German submarine U-24 torpedoed Arabic, and the ship sank in 9 minutes. 44 lives were lost with 390 survivors. American reaction to the Arabic sinking led to Germany suspending unrestricted submarine warfare until 1917.
Some items of china have been removed from the wreck over the last few decades, this is one of them!
A very desired item..
