These are four large Monster Casks full of Sherry on the London Docks. The Queen and the Royal Arms of Spain brewed the Sherry. Sherry is a light kind of wine that is usually expensive so only wealthy people like Queen Victoria and Albert drink it. The casks were of English manufacture and were branded (made) by John Fowler probably during the Industrial Revolution and Great Exhibition of 1851. They were then shipped to Spain on the Traveler and Spain then filled all four of the casks with Sherry and shipped them backed to England. The two bigger casks (the Monster Casks) could hold 2900 gallons and the two smaller ones could hold half that much! |
