A boy named Jeremiah Burke, 19, threw a water bottle with a note in it while the Titanic sank（下沉）. Now the note is in the Heritage Centre（遺產(chǎn)中心） in Cork.

Jeremiah Burke’s mother gave the bottle to him before he left for the US. As the Titanic sank in the early hours of 15 April, 1912, he threw the bottle with the note into the sea.

The bottle was found a year later on the beach. The note read “From Titanic, goodbye all, Burke of Glanmire, Cork.” Burke’s family kept it for about a hundred years. Now one of Jeremiah’s nieces（侄女）, Mary Woods, has given it to the Heritage Centre in Cork. She said Jeremiah Burke was travelling to America with his cousin Nora Hegarty, 18, to meet his two sisters. But both Jeremiah Burke and Nora Hegarty lost their lives. The ship carried 2,208 people on its first trip, but only 705 people survived（幸存） at last.
