Whisky recovered from 130 year-old shipwreck to go under the hammer

A decanter of whisky rescued by divers from a 130 year-old shipwreck in the Firth of Clyde will be the top lot at an auction in Glasgow next month.

The SS Wallachia sank in 1895 while carrying a precious cargo of whisky and beer, which was thought to have been lost forever.

But almost 100 years later in 1977, the shipwreck was discovered by the Girvan Sub-Aqua Club.
