Description: | A relic of Sir John Franklin's last expedition 1845-48. A Goldner food can found in an Inuit cache at Cape Maria Louisa by the Schwatka Search Expedition 1878-79. A food can made of iron plate, tinned and soldered with traces of red paint on the base; the top is missing. The can probably held soup. 'GOLDNER'S PATENT' is embossed on the base.
The item has an old Royal Naval Museum number in white paint '5' and a paper label that says '22 from Wall bay'. 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.
