Adrift For 98 Years...

...a message in a bottle from 1914, found in the waters off Scotland.

The story seems to indicate that it stayed in the same general area for all that time, thus being remarkable for its long preservation in the sea rather than any lengthy voyage.

Next time you are at the beach, why not toss one out yourself? Use a plastic soda bottle. See where it ends up. I've done it several times; one of mine journeyed several hundred miles south from off Carolina Beach, NC to off Myrtle Beach, SC. Click the label below for details.
