Rubber-like
blocks from Indonesia have been washing up on beaches in the UK and north Europe.
They came from the Titanic.
In the
summer on 2012 Tracey Williams has found a black tablet on the sand and over it
writes “ Tjipetir”. Weeks later she found another and she had started to
research the origins.
The blocks
are most made of gutta-percha, the gum of a tree found in Malaysia and it was
used in 19th and half of 20th centuries.
These were found
too in Spain, France, the Netherlands and more countries.
There were
speculations about where they coming: from the Titanic and from a salvage
company which sunk during the World War One.
Opinion
I choose
this news because I found it very interesting. I think there are a lot of
things in the past which we are not going to discover. These blocks appeared out
of the blue and they are going to be a mystery for us for a long time.
