Archaeologists and scientists report finding rare Guinness bottles dating to 1864 in the remains of a shipwreck off Dover. NDTV says the discovery includes as many as 20 bottles from that year, preserved in underwater conditions that allow detailed study.

Researchers say they are working to understand what is inside the historic bottles and to recreate the original Guinness recipe. The reporting focuses on the bottles’ age and rarity, framing the discovery as an opportunity for scientific and historical analysis rather than a commercial rediscovery.

Across the two versions of the report, the core facts remain the same: the bottles are linked to 1864, they are found at the Dover shipwreck site, and scientists are hopeful about reproducing the recipe associated with that time.
