| Battleship Silver |
| This image of the Battleship Silver taken in State Room of the Rhode Island State House. A gift to the USS Rhode Island from the people of Rhode Island in 1907, this ornate formal service was hand-crafted by the famous Gorham Manufacturing Company of Providence and contains a total of 4502 troy ounces of sterling silver. |
| In 1977, the silver was stolen while on display in its former location, outside of the Senate chamber. It was recovered a short time later and again placed on display in the State Room. Currently the Silver is in storage. |
