DESCRIPTION -- Souvenir chrome ashtray from the 1950's and from the British India Steam Navigation Company vessel the SS Nevasa which shows in the centre the company emblem and is in a great condition.
[ONLY 1 AVAILABLE]

CONDITION -- Very Good

HISTORY -- The third Nevasa was built for BI in 1956 as a troopship under government specifications. She was followed by her near sister, the Oxfordshire, built for the Bibby Line in 1957. Unfortunately both ships' careers as troopships were cut short as the result of the government's termination of national service and the increasing transfer of troops by air. Eventually BI took the decision to convert Nevasa for a new role as an educational cruise ship

DESCRIPTION -- An unusual object and a great find which is a 'single torch lamp' from the British India Steam Navigation Co. In the olden days, the item was hung adjacent to the old furnaces. From its lighted wick, rags or waste soaked in paraffin on the end of a rod would be set alight and then placed in the furnace to ignite the fuel to heat the boilers. We believe this to be a very rare find indeed, which is in a great condition.
