Relógio com cerca de 300 Anos, foi recuperado de um Naufrágio com o Mecanismo Intacto

It was found on a wreck believed to be the Swan – a small warship that sank off the west coast of Scotland during the English Civil War. A naval diver discovered the wreck in the 1970s, and it was excavated in the 1990s.

he resulting reconstruction of the watch shows plenty of decorative touches and exquisite attention to detail. The top and bottom plates are held together by square-section Egyptian tapered pillars, first used around 1640. Other parts of the mechanism are engraved with a floral design.

The clockface itself is marked in Roman numerals with what appears to be a fleur de lys on each half-hour, and an English rose in the centre. An engraving on the watch’s top plate reads “Niccholas Higginson of Westminster”.
Colin Martin, a retired maritime archaeologist who was at the University of St Andrews in Fife, UK, and led the original excavation of the Swan, describes the work as "brilliant". (ANI)

Arrojamento de Uma Medusa "Gigante" em Inglaterra: e o rapaz queria leva-la para a banheira de sua casa..

Marine biologist Professor Chris Frid, from the School of Environmental Sciences at Liverpool University, identified the jelly fish as rhizostoma pulmo - sometimes called the barrel or football jellyfish.
He said it was fairly common in the Irish Sea and western parts of the UK and was Britain's biggest species of jellyfish, sometimes measuring two metres across

Descrição Científica da Espécie:

(Macri, 1778)

The "football jellyfish". Bell hemispherical, diameter typically to ca. 40 cm, exceptionally to ca. 90 cm. Exumbrella surface finely granular, jelly thick, stiff over central 2/3, thinner and flexible in outer 1/3; translucent. Marginal lappets 8-12 per octant. Rhopalia 8; rhopalial lappets smaller than inter-rhopalar, pointed. Subumbrellar musculature in eight distinct peripheral muscle fields. Manubrium short, massive, translucent; concealed by 16 scapulets upon it. Each scapulet inverted Y-shaped in section, bearing numerous mouthlets. Mouth-arms inverted Y-shaped in section, supporting two long, massive, outwardly-directed blades also bearing numerous mouthlets. Terminally on each is a large, translucent terminal club. Stomach occupying central 1/3 of bell, roughly square with concave sides; from it 16 substantial radial canals connect to bell edge; younger specimens have narrow ring canal which follows closely outline of each marginal lappet; in many older specimens ring canal apparently absent in places and perhaps in some is completely lacking; an intermediate ring-canal about 1/3 of radius in from margin, broad; centripetal to this a coarse, irregular anastomosing network of canals, connecting only with intermediate ring-canal and not with radial canals. Peripheral to intermediate ring-canal a similar but finer meshwork, its branchings becoming increasingly more fine towards perimeter. Gonads 4, each a much convoluted lobe fundamentally forming most of a circle but this not obvious due to its convolutions. In older animals surface of gonad bearing grooves extending to its edge.
Coloration: bell translucent, surface recalling frosted glass; typically pale-grey to colorless but some specimens or populations also variously described as washed with pale milk-white, opalescent, and rose-red. In near-mature and older specimens the largely white gonads show diffusely through as four large internal patches. Marginal lappets neatly and narrowly edged with ultramarine blue, violet, or brown line of dense color, constant in width and following margin; rhopalar lappets less strongly colored, or colorless. "Frills" of scapulets and mouth-arms pink off west Scotland, also bluish, violet, yellowish and reddish recorded; and in terminal clubs of mouth arms canals may be bright blue, yellowish-brown, pink, deep purple-brown, or colorless. Maturing gonads tinged brown to reddish-brown or blue. All other structures translucent, colorless to pale greyish-white.
Remark: the validity of Rhizostoma luteum (Quoy and Gaimard, 1827) is unclear.
