Description
Metal bound notebook with a hinge near the top of the front cover and a small hook at the top. An empty metal pen casing is attached by metal loops down the right hand side of the cover. When the pen is in place the notebook is fastened shut. A small round badge is attached to the lower left hand corner of the cover. The badge has a blue enamelled garter and buckle around the edge with the words 'R.M.S. Nestor' around the top. A blue enamelled flag is in the centre of the circle with the letters 'AH' shown inside a white diamond. A crown is attached to the top of the outer circle. Inside the cover are twelve small pages each with a pencil drawn caricature. This would have been purchased on board as a souvenir.
