An Eye Into Maritime History
Photograph by Odyssey Marine Exploration Staff
Once destined for post–Civil War consumers, a glass bottle lies framed by a porthole at the wreck site. More than 700 bottles of some 50 different types have been recovered so far by Odyssey Marine Exploration, the Florida-based company that's salvaging the wreck. The bottles represent the needs and wants of a nation coming out of war: alcohol (often disguised as medicine), pickles, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, ink, berries, and elixirs. Some of the ship's bottles and other artifacts will be shown around the world and eventually reside in a museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
