Very cool! The limit of my shipwreck experience is owning a video on the Titanic and a sea salvaged 1836 half eagle.

The only shipwreck I had anything to do with was a drink I concocted back in 1981 when I worked at an outdoor bar at a marina.

 

Shipwreck

3/4 oz. Rum

3/4 oz. Brandy

3/4 oz. Triple Sec (Note: Use Grand Marnier instead of Triple Sec for a Golden Hind

3 oz. Orange Juice

3 oz. Sour Mix

 

Place ingredients in a mixing glass half full of ice. Shake and strain into a 12 oz. glass full of ice. To serve frozen, place ingredients and 8 oz. of ice into a blender and mix on "High" for 5-10 seconds. Serve in a 16 oz. hurricane glass.

Question: How do you stand a bottle up like that?

 

Was it in a cask?

I think they were used (only) aboard ship to store water, and were placed in crates or barrels full of straw.

Hi all glad you like it.

 

the bottle is a Hamilton (inventors name) and they were made for "Pop" (Aerated waters) and were made to be stored on there sides so the cork was always wet from the contents .. so that there was a tight fit and the gas could not escape rendering the "pop" flat.
