A relic of Sir John Franklin's last expedition 1845-48. A silver-plated, fiddle pattern table spoon inscribed with the initials 'FJSP' on back of handle. The item is also marked with a crowned 'L'. It was probably obtained from the Inuit at Repulse Bay in 1854 by the Rae Expedition. The Inuit said that 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. It was presented to Greenwich Hospital by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, 2 December 1854.
