来自泰坦尼克的漂流瓶

 　　A Titanic¹'s bottled message donated

　　A message in a holy water bottle which was thrown overboard by a Titanic victim while the ship sank has been donated to a heritage center in Cork² by his family, BBC reported.

　　As the Titanic sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912, Jeremiah Burke, 19, from Glanmire in Cork threw the bottle containing his message into the sea.

　　The bottle was washed ashore³ a year later in Dunkettle, only a few miles from his family home.

　　The note, which read "From Titanic, goodbye all, Burke of Glanmire, Cork" has remained in the Burke family for nearly a century.

　　来自泰坦尼克的漂流瓶

　　据英国广播公司报道，泰坦尼克号沉没时一位遇难者扔出了一个漂流瓶，如今这个漂流瓶中的信被遇难者家人捐赠给了爱尔兰科克市的一个遗产中心。

　　1912年，4月15日凌晨，来自爱尔兰科克市格兰迈尔的19岁耶利米·伯克，在泰坦尼克号沉没时，将这个装有信的漂流瓶扔进了大海。

　　一年后，漂流瓶被海水卷上了邓肯特岸边，仅仅距离伯克家几英里。

　　这封信被伯克家族保存了近一个世纪，信上写着：“写自泰坦尼克号船上，所有的人，再见了，来自科克格兰迈尔的伯克。”
