Talking about lost objects

  What a find! People often find the best things when they aren’t looking for them. At least that was the case with these three lucky finds. A In 2011, Geoff Flood was walking along a beach in New Zealand when he saw a glass bottle with a message inside on top of a pile of rubbish. The message included an address in Perth, Australia. Geoff sent a letter to the address and got a reply from a man named Peter. Peter explained that in 1936, his grandfather was sailing on a ship when he threw the bottle with the message into the sea. It was floating in the sea for 75 years before Geoff found it in New Zealand. B In 1992, two men were working in a field in Hoxne, England, when they lost a tool . They used a metal detector to find it. While they were looking for the tool, they found some very old coins. They told some archaeologists who were very interested and wanted to investigate the field a little more. They made an incredible discovery – they found gold jewellery and more than 15,000 gold and silver Roman coins , from the fifth century AD. The collection is now in the British Museum. C One day Ken Wilman’s dog was looking through some rubbish on the beach when he found something strange. Between the plastic bags, pieces of rubber and wood, there was a large ‘rock’ with a strange smell . Ken called his dog away. Later, while he was doing some research at home, Ken discovered that the ‘rock’ was ambergris. Ambergris is very rare and comes from inside a whale’s stomach . It is a very valuable ingredient in the world’s most expensive perfumes. Ken ran back to the beach and took the ambergris home. Later he found out that his discovery was worth about $180,000.

The Titanic sinks On 10th April 1912, the Titanic set off from England on its first voyage to New York. The famous ship was almost 900 feet long, and it weighed about 50,000 tonnes. Four days later, at 11.40 p.m., the ship crashed into an iceberg . Water began to pour into the ship. As around 2,000 passengers were sleeping, the ship was slowly sinking. Two hours and forty minutes later, the Titanic broke into two pieces and went down to the bottom of the ocean. There were twenty lifeboats on the Titanic, enough for only 1,178 people. The crew tried to keep people calm; the ship’s musicians were playing beautiful music, as women and children were climbing into the lifeboats. Another large passenger ship in the area came to rescue them, and they survived the disaster. But most weren’t so lucky. Over 2,200 passengers were travelling on the ship, but there were only 705 survivors .

For many years, nobody managed to find the ship. Finally, in 1985, a research team found the wreck but it took until 1998 for part of the bottom of the wreck to be recovered from the water. You can see this huge piece of metal, with its round glass windows, at the biggest Titanic exhibition, in Las Vegas, USA. Several other museums in the USA have exhibitions of some of the 5,000 different objects from the ship. They include leather luggage , bottles of perfume, jewellery and cups with the name Titanic on them. You can even see an unopened bottle of champagne from the ship’s dining room, with the date 1900 on it. As one visitor said, ‘We know a lot about the Titanic through films and stories, but when you look at the personal objects in the exhibition, you realise it’s more than just a story.’
