Desk In The Oval Office

By Toronto Nov 02, 2026

The Resolute desk in the White House, used by many presidents in the Oval Office. In 1855 a whaler discovered the H.M.S. Resolute abandoned in the Arctic. The ship was returned to England and when decommissioned its oak timbers were used to create a desk weighing more than 1,000 lbs that Queen Victoria gave to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880. President John F. Kennedy placed the Resolute desk in the Oval Office and nearly every president since has used it.
