This authentic artifact was recovered from the 1865 shipwreck of the SS Republic from a depth of nearly 1700 feet. Odyssey's remotely operated vehicle nicknaed ZEUS picked up each one individually and the item was then carefully catalouged and conserved.
Small bottles such as these were produced in the 19th century to hold a variety of perfumes, medicines and other remedies that were sold without prescription during the 1800s.
Whereas every effort has been made to choose the best examples of shipwreck artifacts for our collectors, some blemishes and imperfections will be evident due to the harsh conditions the pieces have been subjected to during their years in the deep ocean.
