September 19, 2021 Sure to see it so small, brown, you can see that it has made sea. And who knows what she thought and with what amazement the 9-year-old girl found her on a beach in Hawaii. Yes, a bottle with a message.
The bottle arrived after 37 years, thrown overboard in 1984 by a group of high school students in Japan who threw it into the ocean as part of an experiment.
The message in the bottle, titled "Survey of Ocean Currents," was written by students and placed in the Kuroshio Current near Miyajima Island in western Japan as part of a school project on ocean currents, CNN writes.
The sealed letter, dated July 1984, asked whoever found the bottle to return it to the school, Choshi High School. The Institute said it had thrown 450 bottles into the ocean in 1984 and another 300 in 1985 as part of the experiment. So far 51 have been found and returned.
However, the school added, this one found by the 3-year-old girl is the first bottle found since 2002.
