Strangers Track Down Writer Who Launched Message in a Bottle Nearly a Century Ago
A scuba Diver from Wisconsin spends her summers scuba diving and conducting shipwreck tours found a curious curio on the riverbed.
The bottle’s unusual antique shape and green glass were what first caught her eye, but on closer inspection, she realized the find was something more. Though damaged and slightly water-logged, she and her crew learned the note inside the bottle had survived an amazing nine-plus decades in the water.
Dated November 1926, it read:
Will the person who finds this bottle return this paper to George Morrow Cheboygan, Michigan and tell where it was found?
After posting a picture of the long-missing message to Facebook, word spread like wildfire. More than 100,000 shares and 6,000 comments later, one curious reader managed to locate Morrow’s daughter, Michele Primeau (who “doesn’t do Facebook”) to tell her the story and give her the message in the bottle .

On this day in 1745, Charles Edward Stewart set sail from France for Scotland to start his campaign to take back the Crown of Great Britain for the deposed Stewart Dynasty.
He set sail in two ships but one, the Elisabeth, which was carrying his gold and military supplies, was badly damaged in a encounter with a Royal Navy ship and had to return to France.
