Antique ship box chest in CAULFIELD JUNCTION, Victoria for sale

SHIP BOX CHEST
This box chest came over on the Fairsea Ship - it has as seen in the photo the owners name on it, it needs some good restoration, the hinges need re attaching on the inside, the wood is in need of a paint or oil etc, or if collecting just leave as is. It has two little castors on one end for when they transported it off the boat.
The Fairsea holds an important place in the memory of many immigrants to Australia during the post World War II period. She was the first passenger ship of the famous Sitmar Line and the first non-British ship employed to carry assisted immigrants from Britain to Australia.
The Fairsea was a regular sight in Australian waters and made a total of 81 voyages to and from Australia between 1949 and 1969. In her earlier years, the Fairsea seemed stark and uninviting for some, but after renovations, her later voyages were often remembered with delight and a sense of adventure.
