Description: | A relic of Sir John Franklin's last expedition 1845-48. A tinned iron flask with a conical top found in an Inuit cache at Cape Maria Louisa by the Schwatka Search Expedition 1878-79. The short neck has two holes in it. The flask is painted with a Royal Naval Museum number '12' and in white letters 'TIN FLASK FROM WALL BAY'. A label has the numbers '48' and '390'.
Heinrich Klutschak reported that an Inuk had told the expedition that he had cached these items under a rock for lack of transport but was unable to find them when he came back.
