It's clearly the remains of an ancient Alantean civilisation doncherknow?!

Or a giant's inhaler...

Or an alien ship's fuel cell...

My guess is a very large water heater. Maybe for a cruise ship?

I just want to make it clear that this container was not/NOT a canister of Zombigenic solution lost during a horrible and predictable shipping accident. Any further inquiries regarding this container, or the unconfirmed and irresponsible allegations of the existence of a zombie pirate ship, should be directed to my legal representation: Ashur, Crow, and Alhazred of Arkham, MA.

No wonder the Scots, used to drinking stuff brewed by leathery men with beards and stored in chunks of trees - you know, real beverages - had no idea what it was.

Aye.

They were wise not to touch it, or even Poke It With A Stick.
