Context (Amendments / updates)
Although Z 45283 was entered in the Z Register as being collected by Graham Rowley in 1936, when it was entered into the database the Source was given as Thomas Lethbridge. The label affixed to the object is written in Rowley's hand, and notes that it was found at Victor Bay, A[dmiralty] I[nlet]. According to Rowley's autobiography (2007), he visited Victor Bay at the end of May 1937. The Source, Place and Field Collection have been updated accordingly.
