Have you always wondered what Scotch and Champagne that rested at the bottom of Lake Huron for more than 70 years in a 1913 shipwreck would taste like? Here is your chance to find out and own a small piece of maritime history.
On Nov. 8 to 11, 1913 a Great Lakes snowstorm saw more than 40 freighters, hundreds of small boats and more than 250 sailors lost including the Canadian steamer Regina which had left Sarnia and sank in Lake Huron with no survivors. Bottles from the wreck of the Regina will be auctioned off in Michigan on October 27. There are three full bottles of Whyte and McKay Scotch, two bottles of Dewar’s Scotch and about 20 bottles of champagne from G.H. Mumm and Co. and Clicquot.
The auction will also include five bottles with the Heinz 57 logo on the bottom but they only have traces of ketchup left.
