RMS Orduna penknife
Penknife covered in mother of pearl with RMS Orduna engraved on a metal plaque on one side. The other side has a decorative motif of the ship itself. The knife was likely sold as a shipboard souvenir. It was acquired either on a voyage to or back from Canada by a British family in the early part of the 20th century when the vessel served as a passenger liner. The 'Orduna' was built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast and launched on 2 October 1913.
