The state had paid $10,000 to Tiffany & Co. in 1906 to have 55 pieces crafted as a gift for the first Navy Battleship New Jersey, BB-16. After its silver was transferred to a second battleship, the state commissioned more silver to be added to the collection, bringing it to at least 105 pieces. The set including plates, goblets and a punch bowl is now on display in the captain's cabin of the ship. It was used for special dinners, teas and other formal occasions. Designs that feature many symbols of the state, the U.S. and the Navy are sculpted on the silver.Original file name Collage.jpeg3600 x 1571Each photograph within this collection is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
