Message in bottle the world's oldest discovery in Canada
Who never dreamed of discovering a bottle with a message inside? The Canadian Steve Thurber is one of the lucky few who can say I have done â€" and with a great bonus: on Monday, he discovered the oldest message in bottle in the world, submitted for 107 years by Earl Willard.Willard, apparently American, put the bottle into the sea near San Francisco, California, 1,800 miles from the spot where Thurber found, in Schooner's Cove, Tofino, Canada.Submitted to September 29, 1906, the message, however, has not yet been read. Is that Thurber refuses to open it, a decision that is leaving many onlookers flabbergasted. The sealed envelope that is inside the bottle is clearly visible, showing the date of shipment and the address of Earl Willard. And that was sent from a boat, but no more than that.According to the American press, Thurber believes the message must remain a mystery.Until Monday, the oldest bottle with a message was 97 years old and was discovered in Scotland, last year. According to the fisherman Andrew Leaper, he found, the bottle had a postcard with a bounty of six pence to who delivered her to the owner.
