Cut-down modified Goldner Patent tin
One of three cut-down soup tins used as beakers. The can has two rivets in the side, the edge is pierced with four suspension holes, two on either side.
A cut-down Goldner Patent tin, possibly a beaker, one of three in this group, originally from the 1845 Northwest Passage Expedition led by Sir John Franklin. The tin has been modified with two rivets in the side and double holes punched into the side near the rolled lip. The tin is recorded as being from Wall Bay, King William Island, indicating that it were found in the Inuit cache near Cape Maria Louisa on 3 July 1879 by the US expedition led by Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka between 1878 and 1880.
The tin was displayed in the old Royal Naval Museum, Greenwich in Case 11, as Items No. 9 'Three soup cannisters'. It was also in Display 15 at the 1891 Royal Naval Exhibition at Chelsea.
