This bottle would have been filled with soda, mineral water, beer or ginger beer. The bottle was made with a round bottom ensuring that it would be laid on its side so that the contents would keep the cork moist, and the bottle would stay sealed. This style of bottle was popular on sailing vessels since during long voyages the corks used with other bottles would dry out, causing the contents to leak. This bottle was embossed with the mark of the Corry company of Belfast. It was recovered from 40 Natoma Street.
