Three cut-down Goldner Patent tins

+ -

Three cut-down Goldner Patent tins originally from the 1845 Northwest Passage Expedition led by Sir John Franklin. The tins have been modified and have double holes punched into the sides near the rolled lip. These tins are recorded as being from Wall Bay, King William Island, indicating that they 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 tins were displayed in the old Royal Naval Museum, Geeenwich in Case 11, as Items No. 9 'Three soup cannisters'. They were also in Display 15 at the 1891 Royal Naval Exhibition at Chelsea.
