Keys, from the SS Empire Gladstone:
The freighter SS Empire Gladstone ran aground on Toalla Point (also known locally as Haystack Rock) on 5 September, 1905 while travelling between Eden and Pambula and became a total loss. A number of items were salvaged from the wreck, including this collection of keys.
They are in private ownership.
Both the Eden Killer Whale Museum and Merimbula Old School Museum as well as a number of private individuals have artefacts associated with this vessel.
