They Found a Message From Over 100 Years Old That….

as crazy as this story is, there is ANOTHER one..wow.

Can you believe that a message sent in a bottle over one century ago led to THIS!  You don’t hear about this kind of discovery everyday.  This is pretty cool as they found a 100 year old message in a bottle:

A postcard placed in a bottle and thrown into the North Sea more than a century ago has been found and returned to the scientific institution responsible for its distribution. Rather than a love letter or an SOS to the world, it is part of one of the longest running scientific experiments in the world.

From 1904-1906 George Parker Bidder of the Marine Biological Association of the U.K. (MBA) placed 1020 postcards addressed to the institution in bottles and had them released into the North Sea. The cards offered a reward of a shilling to anyone who found one and posted it back with information.

And as weird as this is, apparently there is a chance meeting between another old message sent and the person who found it.  Can you believe that?  And it is on video for you to enjoy.

Let’s find out more on its discovery and check out an informational video on page 2
