Product Description

Poor Aurania.  She never entered service for Cunard and was used as a transport for less than a year when torpedoed by the German U-Boat UB-67 during World War I.  Although taken in tow, she eventually grounded on the Isle of Mull and was declared a total loss.  There has been some salvage work done on the wreck over the years, and this spoon is one of the pieces that was recovered in 1980.  Made by Hutton in Sheffield (although the COA states Elkington!)  Complete with a Cunard logo.  A rare find!
