Centennial message in a bottle
Very shabby, but still sealed a note finally found a reader. To do this, the message had to travel thousands of kilometers and more than a hundred years. The artifact, which is stored in a bottle of green glass, a man was seen strolling along the shore of a secluded cove Schooner in Tofino, Canada.
Taking a walk along the bank on Monday morning, Steve Thurber remarked bottle lying in the middle of the beach. Note stored inside, signed Earl Willard, who was on board the ship who performed the 76-hour trip from San Francisco to Bellingham.
After Thurber refused to read the ancient message, it struck the anger of Internet users around the world. However, the man is not going to change his decision and is determined to preserve what remained a mystery since 29 September 1906.
All that was read without opening the bottle, it is a day when the note was thrown into the sea, as well as the signature of its author - Earl Willard. In addition to the message count and lists the addresses reported that he was a passenger on the ship, en route from San Francisco to Washington, and that threw the bottle into the sea it was he.
"Maybe this guy has posted only one bottle and I found it. It's like winning the lottery, where the chance of winning one in a billion, "- he said.
The message of the discovery, the man posted on the Internet, many users commented. Many of them require men to open the bottle and talk about what is written in the note.
"I hope he did open it, because it was thrown into the sea in order to one day read it," - wrote one of the Internet users.
Sailed almost 107 years bottle seems to be called the oldest ever found. The previous Guinness world record for the message in the bottle belonged to 98-year-old Scottish fisherman Andrew Leaper, who found the bottle on the Scottish island last year. In it lay a card, which offered a reward to the finder of six pence.
