Bottle of Lee & Perins Worchestershire Sauce Found on the CSS Neuse

As discussed in the Yahoo e-mail group Civil War Navy and Marine Forum awhile back.

When the hull was raised from the Neuse River bottom in the 1960s, along with many other artifacts, a bottle of this condiment was found.

This got someone to wondering what kind of meals were served on board Civil War ships.

The person was sure that the galley fires were not kept going all day. Plus, without refrigeration, fruits, vegetables and meats would go bad.

Pass the Sauce. --B-R'er
