GUEST: My great-great-aunt Rebecca's daughter, on my mother's side, she was married to L.B.

Lindeman, and he was the captain of the Snapshot III, and she was a crewmate.

There was a journey from Halifax to New York that was put on by Hearst, and it got... off course, to the point where I guess they assumed that they were lost at sea.

And as the story is told is there was dense fog, he got off course, she got on the helm of the boat, and she corrected the boat the 100 miles that it had gotten off course.

And two days later, when the boat came to shore in New York, the person that was the captain, or at the helm, was my great-great-aunt Rebecca's daughter.

APPRAISER: Pretty unusual for a woman in that time, this is like 1911.

GUEST: 1911, yeah.

Yeah.

I'm a girl dad.

It sits on our mantel.

It's an incredible story to tell my daughter.

APPRAISER: The silver pitcher is a presentation pitcher by Gorham Silversmiths in Providence, Rhode Island.

It does have the Gorham marks.

It has the "G" for Gorham, the anchor for Providence, Rhode Island, and also the lion for sterling.

Then it has a little, uh, little mark over here, which is, sort of, a figure eight rope, which dates it to 1910-- it sounds like a fantastic race.

So it was from New York to Halifax.

It was a powerboat-- we got a nice picture of the boat here.

And what's interesting is that it seems, sort of, from the news articles that they were missing for quite a while.

They were presumed lost.

They arrived quite... GUEST: Two days.

APPRAISER: Two days after the winning boat, but they won third place.

So you've got the enamel flags that represent the yacht clubs that were involved.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: William Randolph Hearst, the media mogul of the time, was, I think, very interested in boating, who sponsored this race.

And really, a, a very elegant trophy.

It was an elegant age and an interesting piece of, sort of, early sporting history.

Putting a value is a little tricky.

Gorham is a very good maker.

The design is wonderful.

The fact that it's related to boating, and it's really the story of how it all comes together... GUEST: Right.

APPRAISER: ...as a package that sort of enhances the value.

And my sense is, for insurance purposes, I would look at a figure around $8,500.

GUEST: Okay.

Great.

Thank you so much.
