Nov. 10 - 12 Underwater Finds - Eastport, ME - 11/13/2006 8:03:52 AM    adshepard   Posts: 214 Joined: 8/11/2004 Status: online Traveled the 430 miles to our home in Lubec, Maine and did some dives off Eastport to collect some bottles.  I got skunked for the most part on Friday although I did find an old green squat with an iron pontil.  Unfortunately about 1/3 of the top was cracked off and since it had no lettering I just left it for someone else to find.  I also found a blob top mineral water but it was clear glass and boring so I left that too. On Saturday I found a few slick whiskeys/ales including one that is black glass.  It's pretty darn crude with lots of bubbling and roughness.  I can't see the bubbling about half way down due to the darkness of the glass not letting any light through.  The black glass ale also still had its cork inside and man does it stink! I also found a very pretty pepper sauce. On Sunday I picked up a few more nice bottles.  One is from Providence, Rhode Island and reads - "Wm E. Clarke - Pharmacist - Providence, R.I." on  one side and "Hunt's Remedy" on two other sides.  It is pretty nice and I did find info on it on a RI based bottle site.  The last one I found was a small "Dr. S. Pitcher's - Castoria".  There was plenty of info on that on on the Internet.  I also found a clear strap flask. Here are a few of the finds.

I have one with a paper label that is a dieretic water. I saw another one identical to the one you have there but taller that held oriental condensed coffee and another one in a different book that mentions they were used for juice.
