Have you all heard of the yeast found aboard an 1825 shipwreck that was used to recreate an authentic old style porter?

Or the Norwegian brewer whose stirring stick supposedly still contained yeast from the age of the Vikings?

Or the yeast recovered from a submarine sunk in 1915?

I thought I read some living yeast was recovered from an ancient Roman shipwreck, and used to recreate their beer, too, but I can't find any online references for that.
