This video is apart of a special series '7 Shipwrecks in 7 Days' to celebrate the annual National Archaeology Week in 2020. The 850-tonne barque, Scottish Prince was on a voyage from Scotland to Brisbane in 1887 when the captain retired for the evening, leaving the second mate in charge. Unfamiliar with the coastline, the second mate navigated the vessel to close to land and Scottish prince ran aground at the south end of Stradbroke Island. Several unsuccessful attempts were made by the steamers Tweed, Otter and Gunga to tow Scottish Prince off the bar. Within a few days, as south-easterly weather conditions deteriorated, the vessel keeled over and was abandoned. Over the following weeks the decks opened up allowing cases of cargo including sewing machines, drapery, whiskey, beer and mineral waters to be washed ashore. The shipwreck is a favourite dive site for experienced divers, often home to large schools of fish and wobbegong sharks. Featured artefact MA3058 - Whiskey bottle with contents One of the recorded cargo carried by Scottish Prince was indeed whiskey. Remarkably, this bottle survived an entire wrecking event and many decades underwater completely intact. Our conservators have added a silicon sealing at the top as extra protection for both the cork and contents. Why not drink it – it would be very well aged? Unfortunately, over many decades glass does become porous, so although this whiskey looks perfectly fine, it would have a very salty ‘sea’ flavour to it. #qldcultureathome #museumathome #museumoftropicalqld Image credits Scottish Prince - State Library of SA Scottish Prince dive site: Queensland.com, Gold Coast Diving Adventures, Destination Gold Coast
