Catalogue Note
Les armes émaillées sont très probablement un souvenir de la perte en mer du Zélateur en 1892. Ce navire fut construit la même année en Norvège.
Le nom de Grace Darling se réfère à une héroïne, encore vénérée de nos jours en Angleterre, fille d'un gardien de phare, qui participa au sauvetage des rescapés du Forfarshire en 1838 et mourut en 1842.
