Message In a Bottle Turns Up 39 Years Later

Posted by samzenpus on from the sending-out-an-SOS dept.

Mark Ciarmello and his 3-year-old daughter found a 39-year-old message in a bottle while walking along the beach in Corolla, N.C. The note was in a Schaefer beer bottle and dated Aug. 17, 1969. It read: "If found notify the North Haledon Fire Co. 2." Firefighters suspect it was tossed by someone during one of the many fishing trips that they used to take years ago, but are unsure who as their fishing trips, like most, were about the beer.
