Description
Produced in 2007, this magnificent limited edition celebrates the 400th anniversary of the historic voyage to Jamestown, Virginia in 1607 from London. The three ships which embarked on this legendary voyage, the Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery are masterfully carved in low relief around the cap with bands of rope and flowing ribbons engraved with each ship's moniker. One ribbon bears the engraved description: "America's 400th Anniversary" along with "1607 - 2007". The barrel features illustrations of the fleet based on sail-maker drawings of the day within three rope-bordered cartouches. A sextant, cannon, and ship's navigation wheel decorate the bottom of portion of the barrel. The final touch to this creative design is a compass rose on the end of the barrel. Each pen is hand-finished using a 400-year old lost wax casting method, invented in the same era this trio set sail for America. Solid Sterling Silver. New in presentation case with literature. No. 008 / 400
