The darkness of the ocean often hides treasures from the past. Recently, a team exploring the depths of the English Channel unearthed a relic from history—a bottle with a seal reading, ‘Guinness Extra Stout, London.’
In the early hours of August 8, 2026, divers stumbled upon a shipwreck from 1864. Known as the Mindoro, this vessel met its fate over a century ago. Amidst the wreckage, numerous dark glass bottles lay scattered. The discovery of an intact seal on one bottle made it stand out from the rest.
Encased in a rich history, the bottle is a testament to the enduring legacy of Guinness brew. This discovery not only adds to our understanding of historical shipping routes but also tantalizes us with the prospect of sipping the past’s flavors.
