Just a super grouping from the USS Savannah, a Wichita Class Replenishment Oiler that saw service in Vietnam in the Tonkin Gulf. The grouping consists of the Christening Bottle which is housed in a presentation wood box, a large presentation photo album to Vice Admiral Ralph L. Shirley and his wife, as she was the sponsor of the ship and the one who christened the ship. The album documents the christening along with the dinner afterwards. The Admiral was presented with a piece of wood from the keel block at the dinner. This took place on 23 April, 1970 at "General Dynamics" in Quincy, Mass. The christening bottle is in a presentation wood box, measuring approx. 13 1/2" long by 4 5/8" square. Pieces of the broken bottle are still inside the metal sleeve, with other small pieces inside the wood box. The metal sleeve is non-magnetic and is engrave with the event. There is a large picture of the ship and copies of newspaper articles that go along with the grouping. A great looking set.

Here is the Christening Bottle from launching the S.S. Samadang on 22 April, 1944 at the New England Shipbuilding Corporation in South Portland, Maine by Mrs. Gertrude Bedard Forano. This Liberty Ship weighed 7,219 gross tons and was loaned to Great Britain for the duration of the war. The shipyard Hull number was 3020 and the ship was finally scrapped in New Orleans in 1967. The bottle is inside of the presentation box, which measures approx. 14" long by 4 1/4" square.
