Toppled Queen Victoria statue reveals '100-year-old angry-message in bottle'
05.12.2022 - 13:13 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A '100-year-old angry-message in a bottle' was unexpectedly found underneath a toppled Queen Victoria statue. The furious message inside the bottle blasted controversial drinking laws in 1921.
The statue of the Monarch had been knocked down and the head was thrown in the a river by protestors last year in Canada. The group were out rallying over indigenous children's grave in Manitoba, reports the Daily Star.
However, workers were then left stunned when they pulled out the bottle from the base of the statue as they dug up the ground underneath the fallen statue. The letter inside the bottle was dated July 30, 1921, and was reportedly left as an apology for being unable to place a bottle of brandy underneath the statue.
The author claims they were unable to leave the gift due to the Prohibition laws at the time. In the United States and Canada, it was against the law to produce, import or sell alcohol between 1920 and 1933.
According to Reg Helwer, the minister responsible for government services, the message reads: 'On account of the Prohibition, we are unable to adhere to the custom of depositing a bottle of brandy under the stone, for which we are extremely sorry.'
The message had been signed by a stonecutter, workers and a bureaucrat who was the province’s deputy minister of public works at the time. Speaking to CBC, Reg said it's not the first time a piece of history has been unearthed in Manitoba.
He said: "Apparently there are things of that nature around the legislature. As we move stones, we do discover things like this.
"To me, it's a very neat story, especially with the age of the building, just recently celebrating a hundred years not long ago."
