A relic of Sir John Franklin's last expedition 1845-48. The back of a silver watch case with a monogram in the centre. It was obtained from the Inuit at Repulse Bay in 1854 by the Rae Expedition. The Inuit said they had found the material at a camp to the north west of the mouth of the Back River where a party of Europeans had died of starvation. The hallmarks are illegible, the maker's initials are 'SB' and the watch back is marked in ink 'JR18'. The item is shown in the drawing by Edward Pulleyn (AAA3972). It was presented to Greenwich Hospital by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, 2 December 1854.
