Cot
Child’s cot in canvas, with hammock type suspension and decorative fringing. The canvas has a blue thread running through it. The cot is hand-sewn - the seams oversewn, the edges of the cot turned over and secured with running stitch. The ends are spread by wooden battens and the cot is suspended from cords worked in square sennit with steel eyes. The edges of the cot are decorated with a diamond-pattern fringe of half-knotted cord with ravelled ends. The cot belonged to Robert Milliken (1878-1952), a master in the Prince Line.
