This makes the disappearance of the Malaysian airliner a little more believable.

Nope, it was researched, and the bottle was entered into the ship’s log which is still in archives..................

It was in a corked dark glass bottle for 132 years. Not much sun fade.

Maybe it was rolled up and the print wasnt exposed to the light and it didnt get wet and the brown bottled probaly cut down on UV’s

Plenty of reasons

Great story.

Did anyone else find it amusing that the museum curator felt compelled to wear white gloves to hold an artifact that tossed around the sea for a 132 years? :-)
