Default Two Artifacts recovered from the 1714 Fleet

A Spanish Fleet of 7 left Havana and met with a hurricane of our Florida treasue coast. Only one survived. Treasure was scattered from Ft Piece where I live and Melbourne to the north. Less than half of them have been found. When I was practicing law in the 80s, one of the salvors presented me these two rum bottle that survived almost 400 years and numerous hurricanes. I got them from storage and wanted to share them. All were hand blown. No two are alike and both very heavy! ~~ Eric !
