MQ Odd Stuff - Day 8

Another souvenir from Medway Queen’s time on the Isle of Wight.

These sterling silver bracelet charms were one of the branded souvenir items sold on board. This one, a lucky find on an online auction site. The club also sold postcards, pin badges and collectable tea spoons. In the '70s the china in the restaurants was branded with an image of the two ships (Medway Queen and Ryde Queen). Couples holding their wedding reception on board were presented with an engraved souvenir cake knife.
