These bottles relate to Alexander Phillips of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, whose business ran from 1858. In 1879, his son became a partner in the business after which time the bottles are stamped 'A Phillips & Son' (B.C. & Vancouver Island - Bottles, Antiques & Collectibles, accessed November 2017). These stoneware ginger beer bottles were produced in Britain by the Doulton Lambeth Company. 'VI' stood for the crown colony of Vancouver Island. After the colonies were combined in 1866, most companies would switch to using BC or British Columbia. However, the bottles depicting 'VI' would still be used, as special orders for bottles like these could take months, if not more than a year, to reach the new colony, meaning that existing bottles were often recycled (Royal B.C. Museum Learning Portal, accessed November 2017).These items were found with a collection of five other bottles (MAS-D100100).2017-08-11 10:38:352017-12-06 12:53:48312017-08-0128Certain39398254PAS5989C577001EA7PAS57BC21F300115BPAS57BC1E1600176F22MASMASCeramic10539CompleteGoodNINETEENTH CENTURYNINETEENTH CENTURYDivingL MV LL R8218210TR3535TR3535TR33NE51.06620131.35272976101recharges.vehicles.unmarked202IMG_2179.JPGimages/MASCountyKentSubmitted as wreck to the Receiver of Wreck96823
