This post is in support for @stokjockey who initiated this tag.

It is also for three special people in this community:

my sweetest stacking sister, @kerrislravenhil whom I dearly love, and recently showed her Queen Anne's Revenge: Black Flag coin aquisition;
for dear @dfinney - the bars I show here are bars that she and I both have, and which I have personally designated marks the start of our friendship in SSG;
and last but not the least, my SSFL @silvervessel.

1975 Whaling Ship Art Bar 1 ozt .999 Fine Silver

and

1975 Whaling Ship Art Bar 24K Gold Plated
1 ozt .999 Fine Silver

In addition to the name of the series which is America The Beautiful, 1 troy oz, .999 F.S. 75 mint year and HM for Hamilton Mint, the back of the bar has the inscriptions written within the outline of the US continent: - "WHALING SHIP - At a center of the vortex of sea, salt, and sperm oil, the early American whaling ship glides across the wind-swept oceans of time", which describes the image in the front of the bar.

These bars are serialized and can be found engraved on the edge of a side of the bars. The 24KT EGP silver bar is #0257, while the silver bar is #2114.

These bars are a beautiful depiction of an American industry that dates back to the early 1600s. It is interesting to read in the history of whaling in America that in January 1849, the whaling ship Aurora set sail for San Francisco. By December it will be abandoned by the harbor when the crew heads inland looking for gold!

The 1975 Whaling Ship silver bar is no longer in my possession as I sent it as a gift to a very deserving and loved friend.
I now only have the 24Kgold gilded version.

Thank you for viewing the silver bars in this article. I will see you again soon! @silversaver888
