Description:
Rations would have been stored in the lifeboat’s emergency kit. This one contains 8oz of dried biscuits. If a boat sunk in the middle of the Atlantic it could be many days before any lifeboats were found, so access to some food could be vital for survival.

Quilt. Colorful wool, cotton, flannel, and jersey fabrics made of geometric and freeform shapes and patterns including plaids, tweeds, and solid colors. Reverse side is a solid rough beige cotton with pale blue stripes; there are decorative beige yarn ties along the blue stripes with a few pink yarn ties interspersed. Edges are folded in and machine (?) hemmed, there is no border. Possible ornate script initials - one of which is may be an "L". Some discoloration and stains. This quilt is one of two recovered from the Preble House. (See also quilt 1000.140.1138 from the same donor.)
