The Navy has set up a gift registry on Tiffany's site for the public to donate silverware to the USS New York. The ship was partially built with steel salvaged from the World Trade Center towers and was named to commemorate the September 11th terrorist attacks. When the ship is commissioned next month it wants to be served on a silver platter. Specifically, sterling silver platters from Tiffany & Co.
One featured item: a George IV tray with handles. The ship needs five of them at $13,600 each.
If that's too steep, the ship could also use matching Queen Anne coffee and tea pots at $3,600 to $4,200 each.
Ice buckets are a combined $4,000 and at just $2,800 a Chippendale tray seems like a bargain.
Tiffany's Hampton forks, knives and spoons range from $150 to $300.
Fancy silverware is common on most ships for distinguished parties and other events.
The silverware, however, is usually donated by sponsors.
