This 144-Year-Old Dress Has a Mysterious Code, Here’s What It Means

"Sara Cofield, an archaeologist who also enjoys collecting antique dresses and bags, discovered a surprise when she brought the dress home. She found a hidden pocket located beneath the structure of the dress's skirt, embedded in the seams of the skirt."

"Then, she realized that the dress and the piece of paper likely originated from the 1880s. However, she encountered difficulties in interpreting the message written on the paper. The text on the paper includes a location name, followed by verbs and a collection of random nouns such as Bismark, omit, leafage, buck, bank. Calgary, Cuba, unguard, confute, duck, fagan. Spring, wilderness, lining, one, reading, novice."

"Although several experts tried, they were unsuccessful in deciphering the meaning of the code on the dress. Wayne Chan, a computer analyst from the University of Manitoba in Canada, also tried and succeeded. According to him, the hidden message in the dress was actually intended to convey local weather information through a telegraph or telegram."

"In the mid-19th century, the telegraph became the primary means of sending and receiving news quickly. 'Since telegraph companies determined the number of words in a telegram, codes to compress messages to reduce the word count became popular,' wrote Chan in his scientific paper published in the journal Cryptologia."

"In his effort to interpret the message, Chan delved into around 170 telegraph code books, but the results were nil."

His success came when he discovered an ancient book titled "Telegraphic Tales and Telegraphic History" which contained a section about the weather code used by the US Army Signal Corps. The samples in the book appeared similar to the code words on the dress, giving him the confidence that the code was related to weather information.

"Chan stated that the discovery of the telegraph had a significant impact, including in the dissemination of weather information. This was the first time in history that news about the weather could spread quickly. However, the mystery that still surrounds the dress is the identity of its original owner and the reason why the weather message was hidden inside it."
