A message in a bottle tossed from a fishing boat in 1995 has been found in France.
The bottle, which came ashore in Brittany, came from a man working as the engineer aboard a fishing boat from Massachusetts named Hannah Boden.
The man described the boat he was on, listed her crew, her coordinates, and asked whoever found it to respond back to him with the date and location where the bottle was recovered.
He also left his address at the bottom of the message, and placed a dollar bill inside.
The letter was dated 20 Apr 1995, and was released near Puerto Rico.
CBS Boston spoke with Hannah Boden’s Captain at the time, who said they had lost track of the bottle-releaser.
They also mentioned dollar bills are usually placed inside such time capsules so its finder will not think it’s trash.
