100-Year-Old Fuel Blocks Still Perfectly Preserved #shipwreck #history

Dec 28, 2025
Two beautifully preserved Patent Fuel blocks recovered from the wreck of the SS Romsdalen. Pressed from coal dust and waste, these blocks were designed to burn efficiently at sea and carry the unmistakable Phoenix logo of the Phoenix Patent Fuel Company of Swansea. Despite more than a century underwater, the detail is still there! Thanks to Colin Rotheram, Francesca Iosue and Tim Wallis for their media!
