Eons ago, I used to do a lot of SCUBA diving and on one of those trips in the Caribbeans, in this case the Virgin Islands ... since I was certified to be an instructor in PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors), and that I was there for a bit, I taught SCUBA diving (the shop provided the equipment free for that) a couple young kids that hanged around the dive shop, they were in bad shape to face life, no schooling, no experience in anything etc. so with a diving certification, they would be able to find jobs on the boats taking tourists to dive sites. Before I was due to head back home, the guys at the dive shop took me to a secret bay there and pinpointing where the pirates cannons would be place in defense, you can coordinate their tries at firing canons and where they anchored ... so we dove there and I found this torpedo bottle, dating back to the old pirates' day. Made of 3 pieces, 2 sides and the top all melted together. Since it can't stand, they use to stick them in sawdust and then throw it overboard when used! I've always kept it as a beautiful memento and memories
