RMS Baltic Souvenir Ribbon Plate

RMS Baltic was the third of the 'Big Four', in service from 1904 until 1932. During her civilian career, Baltic served between Liverpool and New York. She was involved in a few minor incidents during her career. She distinguished herself especially in 1909 when she came to the aid of the Republic and the Florida that had collided with each other. The Baltic's rescue of all passengers drew attention to the important role that the new wireless telegraphy technology could play in ensuring safety at sea. In April 1912, the Baltic also picked up distress signals from the Titanic but was too far away to be of any assistance.

Taken out of service in 1932, she was scrapped the following year in Osaka, Japan.

This beautiful ribbon plate bears an image of the ship in the centre and is intricately made of translucent glass; often called a 'milk plate' and the flowers are adorned with gold leaf. Souvenirs were sold in the onboard gift store, which doubled as the barber's shop.

Condition is excellent with no chips or cracks and only minor loss of the central image, commensurate with its age of almost 120 years.

These plates are becoming increasing rare to find and this is a guaranteed investment!
