 Tea ServiceIt is interesting that Henry Green chose this tea service with a green pattern - a play upon his own name perhaps. It was acquired in Europe and brought back to Long Island as a part of his wedding service. |  Silk from the OrientThis embroidered silk was acquired by Green during one of his whaling voyages. The intricate detail work is a hallmark of embroidery created in China, which is possibly where the two matching pieces at the lighthouse came from. |  Carved CaneGreen carved and mounted this cane himself. The top of the case has a carved ivory "grasping" hand with a carved and painted snake mounted below it. The snake wraps around the main column of the cane terminating about halfway down the shaft. |

Captain Green's chest traveled with him all over the world from his early days all the way through his service as captain. |  Nesting Baskets from the Far EastDesigned to maximize storage, these nesting baskets were brought back on one of Green's whaling trips. |  Jewel CasketConstructed by the captain for his wife, this intricately crafted box includes rare woods, ivory, whalebone, etched and hand colored decorations as well as a cabochon moonstone button. |
