Vintage Norwegian sterling silver tea caddy spoon embossed to handle with the ship "M.S. Venus".

Maker: Theodor Olsens Eftf / Magnus Aase
Origin: Bergen, Norway
Date: c. 1930s

32.28 g / 1.04 t oz
11.5 cm
4.3 cm wide across the bowl

At the time of its completion in 1931, "Venus" was the world's fastest passenger vessel, capable of travelling at 19.5 knots. In 1937, Venus was en route to Newcastle in a storm, when an SOS was heard from the cargo vessel "Trym". Venus went to assist and remained standing by Trym, with the winds increasing to hurricane force.

Early in the morning Venus launched a lifeboat with 9 volunteers; in a spectacular rescue operation, in Trym's Ordinary Seaman jumped into the wild seas with a line to the lifeboat, and thus 6 of the Trym's crew were carried over to Venus. In a last-ditch effort to save the others, Captain Vilhelm Dreyer chose to manoeuvre Venus' bow close to Trym so that those still on board could get across. All were saved.

The success of this rescue made headlines across Europe. British newspapers referred to it as the most heroic rescue operation of the century and portrayed Captain Dreyer as a wise, calm and masterful Viking.

The eminent maritime artist Frank Mason, commemorated the event in a painting.

Excellent vintage condition.

Pakje is snel verzonden en goed aangekomen. De amethist is veel donkerder dan op de foto, bijna zwart en niet paars.

Je trouve cette bague un peu petite, donc moins d'allure.
