RMS Republic Salvaged Plate
Description
This shattered section of White Star Line blue delft china was raised from the wreck site of the RMS Republic.
Republic was built by the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast, and launched in 1903. Dubbed "The Millionaire's Ship", she represented the height of luxury at the time and was the lead ship of White Star's Boston-Liverpool service. She sank in 1909 after colliding with the Lloyd Italiano liner, S.S. Florida in a dense fog off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts.
