Mustard Barrels - 6 Ribbed
Item #: 301682
- Authentic Treasure from the famous and historic SS Republic Shipwreck!
- When the SS Republic sank, mustard was an indispensable enhancement to the 19th century diet, often used to disguise the taste of meat and other foods that had spoiled due to the lack of refrigeration. Mustard was also believed to cure sundry ailments including hysteria, snakebites, and even the bubonic plague.
- Barrel-shaped bottles with a distinctive ribbed pattern were the prevailing bottle type used for mustard, either dry or prepared.
- The sizeable cargo of glass mustard barrels recovered from the shipwreck is certain proof that this pungent condiment was a sought-after staple and one that surely would have been valued in post Civil War New Orleans.
