Sherd from Aphrodite
Item
Description
This sherd of a Minton plate from the Aphrodite is the only memory remaining of its elegant furnishings, which were stored in a Long Island warehouse when the ship was outfitted for war service. The warehouse was destroyed by fire.
The sherd was found in a refuse pile on Riverby, the Burroughs family land south of Payne's estate. Julian Burroughs was the manager of the estate. Printed with permission of Joan Burroughs.
