Description
This wine bottle was recovered from Fort Albany, Ontario. It is associated with the Hudson's Bay Company's occupation of this post between 1678 and 1720. The ‘shaft and globe’ shape of the bottle and the dark green hue of the glass suggest it was imported from England and dates to the mid-17th century.
