The bottle has been drifting around the Pacific Ocean for 107 years, thrown into the sea near San Francisco, and it was found washed up on a beach in Tofino, Canada: 1,115 miles in 107 years.
Sending a message by bottle is one of those things that you might wish to put on your personal bucket list. I've thrown four or five of them, and gotten replies to a couple of them. Maybe one day in the future the equivalent will be to send a message into space. Perhaps it's already been done by an astronaut with a sense of whimsy.

If he hasen't opened it, HOW do they know it's from 'Frisco, 107 yrs. ago? Hmmm?
@John Block: some of the message can be read through the glass of the bottle. Click over to the article and you'll see what I mean.
