R.1908–09 / 7 · privately held, distinct in origin

Papers of the Interval — Aethelgard Roads, 1911–1954

Four loose papers, clipped as found and never bound: a warehouse ledger extract, a 1936 private trade memorandum, a 1954 average adjusters' casualty schedule, and an unsigned covering memo. Together they document the crate consigned under bill of lading AR-1188, its decades in bonded storage, and its inundation at Depot 4 on the night of 14–15 January 1954.

Physical: 5 pp.; salt-faded grey-green; loose papers, clipped, not bound or regularised
Date: Compiled retrospectively; underlying papers dated 1910–1954
Status: Its own covering memo describes it as “a separate, uncatalogued item, distinct in origin and in date” from Items /1–/4
Relation: Bridges the 1910 consignment implicit in Item /6 and the Museum's own modern Gallery Guide, without belonging to either the Committee's series or the institutional record.

“Depot 4 inundated, night of 14–15 Jan. 1954 — contents not yet surveyed.”

— final ledger entry, trailing off exactly where the Museum's salvage record begins

The Provenance Table

The 1911–1954 lacuna and 1954 flood shown here anchor the bow's custody track.

Cataloguer's note. This item is entered for completeness and cross-reference, but stands apart from Items /1–/4 in origin, and from Items /1–/6 generally in date, exactly as its own covering memorandum states.
