A MYSTERIOUS bundle has washed up on a UK beach and it could be from the Titanic.
A pile of dirty, rubber sheets washed up on the shoreline of Keiss Beach, near John O’Groats, in Scotland.

Each sheet has its own unique webbed pattern that is very similar to a bale discovered at Dunnet Beach in 2019.
David Graham Scott spotted the bizarre bundle and took pictures of it.
Cornish-based conservationist Steve Trewhella said these could have derived from the famous ship that sank in 1912.
He says the sheets are ‘gutta-percha’ which are a dense form of latex similar to rubber.
It was previously in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for domestic and industrial purposes.
However, it is now typically used for root canal treatment in dentistry.
He went on to state that it was quite possible that the gutta-percha bundle on Keiss Beach could even have come from the Titanic.
Mr Trewhella said: “It was hugely popular around a century ago and there is evidence from the existing logs that the Titanic was carrying gutta-percha when she sank in 1912.

”It’s not beyond the realms of possibility that the bales could have come from that ship.
”We get a lot of debris floating over to the UK from the Newfoundland coast which passes over the wreck site.”
