Lot 142
A ROYAL GEORGE OAK DECANTER BOX, 19TH-CENTURY, the lid with copper stringing to edge and cartouche inscribed Relic of H.M.S. Royal George Sank 1782, the baize lined interior fitted for six flasks, drop handles and copper lock escutcheon -- 12½ x 16 x 11in. (31.5 x 40.5 x 28cm.), The disaster that befell the Royal George in 1782 presented a great challenge to the Royal Navy. As the contemporary accounts in lot 143 state, engineers were confident that they could have the ship raised within a couple of months. As history records, that was optimistic and, as time slipped by, this idea was abandoned in favour of salvage. Whilst some early progress was made, the hull remained a serious obstruction to shipping for over 70 years. The operations undertaken by Cmdr. Pasley in the 1840s, where successful underwater explosives were first used, basically became the testing platform and training site which laid the foundations of 'modern' enclosed diving. The oak used in this box has areas of black staining suggesting long submersion and so is likely to have been raised in these operations. ,
