<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AnkurJ, post: 1447975, member: 37561&quot;]<font size="2">This medal was rewarded by President Grover Cleavland in 1885 to Captain Guenberg of the German ship Ceres for his rescue of the crew of the Josie M Anderson. The ship, Josie M Anderson, departed from Perth Amboy, NJ and was going to Port Royal, South Carolina. It hit rough waters so it stopped at Sandy Hook. When it departed, the rough weather continued and the ship started taking on water. The German ship rescued the entire crew. This medal is very close to home, as I live in the town where Grover Cleavland was born. And I have visited Perth Amboy and Sandy Hook in New Jersey many times as well. </font></p><p><font size="2"><br /></font></p><p><font size="2">I bought it from dealer JK Americana. I love the piece and hope it stays in my family! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
