Bottle messages suggesting iceberg collision
- When
- 19 February 1893 (conditional on bottle messages' legitimacy)
- Where
- North Atlantic
Letters found in bottles suggested a collision with an iceberg, consistent with reports of ice in the North Atlantic in February 1893.
Two letters found in bottles evoked a collision with an iceberg. Certain ships had spotted ice in the North Atlantic in February 1893. If the messages were legitimate, the ship sank sometime after 3:20 a.m. on 19 February 1893; the collision claim rests solely on these bottle letters.
