5 - A UNIQUE ARTIFACT FROM THE STORM OF 1913 from a vessel
that was lost with all hands on November 9, 1913 THIS IS THE 90TH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE STORM OF 1913! Two Bottles of Dewars Scotch recovered from
the wreck of the Canadian steamer REGINA under a permit issued by the
State of Michigan. The artifacts are guaranteed authentic and actually
spent more than
 70
years on the bottom of Lake Huron. The bottles will be sold as a pair. The
label at the top is under wax. The one
bottle is clear and the other is cloudy due to the fact that the cork has
dislodged and is on the bottom of the bottle, coloring the scotch. These
cannot be shipped due to their frail nature.
Contents are original as they were sealed when they were recovered as part
of the cargo of the S.S. REGINA! Also included are 2 8 x 10 black and
white photographs of the S.S. REGINA and a certificate of authenticity.
