Did I choose a lucky day to go! They had a large display of finds that the Odyessey has brought up from shipwrecks. Among the many rare items that were brought up, they had a display of their best bottle finds. Here's a few pics:

A couple of master inks. The one on the right had damage, unfortunately.

They had two of these Cod Liver Oil Jelly jars. Neat!

Mike, I haven't been there in 40 years but I love the display! Thanks for sharing. How long is it running?
I hope the controversial "deck sweeper" goes unnoticed.[:D][:D][:D]

Hey Mike,

Thanks for the field trip to the museum. I think that's Matt's old deck sweeper.[8D]

Fantastic display. Were the bottles from a specific site or recovered in general. Good pictures through the glass. Thanks for taking the pictures and posting them.

great display, I love the odyessey finds... There are some great videos on line too. God imagine finding all these bottles in one place!

Now about the deck sweeper, I wish they would cut the crap with that stuff! If anything they used bottles they had on hand, just regular old bottles...
