Bottles found in Chesapeake bay

[Roney]

These bottles were recovered while dredging for oysters in the Chesapeake bay. Does anyone have any insight on the strap side with the AL logo?

I've never heard of anyone finding bottles when oyster fishing but a lot of garbage was thrown into rivers and lakes or nearby and maybe found its way into the water eventually

I lived in Maryland 40 yrs. near Chesapeake and heard and read these newspaper stories of Oyster harvesters pulling up artifacts all the time, arrowheads and other Indian artifacts-old bottles and some other weird things as well. Its true.

Oyster dredging is a lot different than crabbing or lobster potting, actual bottom silt is being moved to get to oysters

Nice 1890.s era bottles. Sharp and Dohme was Baltimore based. The flask is sweet-never seen this monogram.

The Sharp & Dohme is more common in amber.. I've dug prolly 3-4 dozen in amber

There was a 1991 Baltimore Sun story on this topic.
