About MeLike many hotels onshore seagoing vessels had their cutlery engraved with the name of the ship or the lines crest.
This image shows a selection of cutlery from different vessels of the North of Scotland Orkney & Shetland Steam Packet Company ('North Boats') whose successor to the routes still sails from Aberdeen in the guise of Northlink Ferries.
The fork on the right carries the EZ lettering for the Earl of Zetland.
