RoW forms

[Duff_Daddy]

I am filling in the declaration forms for some (full) bottles i found recently, how much would you normally put down in the estimated costs of services box for something you found on a RIB dive?
Also , Is there a way of finding out the actual cargo of a wreck? this one went down in 1859, I would like to find out whats in these bottles, ( I think its port or similar).
Thanks for your help

Send me a picture of the bottles and I will try to find out if it's port. My family are port produces since 18th century. Most wine in 19th centurty were shipped by casks rather than bottles though.

I always put 'To be advised' for the cost part on the form.

Thanks for both your replies
I will send you some pics Chris, although there doesn't seem to be any identifying marks on them, but they are obviously hand made

Try emailing Carl Racey at Scarborough hes got reams of research on wrecks on the yorkshire coast and artefacts that have been raised including bottles.
