[senco-forum] Journalism; A dying Craft

And what about the one that got away?

There was a story about how a section of hawser from an ancient egyptian 
barge had been sold to a museum for £5,000. This piece of historical 
detritus had once been used to tie a boat to a mooring in ancient egypt.

The Headline:

£5,000 for Ancient rope.

Do you think someone missed something.

(Paraphrase of original 'cos I can't remember all of the details, but you 
get the idea (and it's a true story)).
