Corinthians Message in a Bottle Found on Padre Island

Beachcomber extraordinaire husband and wife team Mike and Sandy were combing the shores of Padre Island in Texas in early April when Mike stumbled upon a wee bit of treasure – A message in a bottle! Once he opened the message he found it contained a verse from the Bible, as well as a pair of names that were a bit hard to read. Since no last names were offered, he’s hoping to share the message here and hopefully connect with the authors of this Corinthians message in a bottle, who seem to be named Mike and Britt…

Mike Seeks Authors of Bottled Note

“I found [a message in a bottle] 4-5-19 on Padre Island National Seashore that I could use some help with,” Mike wrote in an email to me. “It was written on a notepad from a resort in Saint Lucia and the writing was faded but I figured out the message to be a bible verse…1 Corinthians 13:13. BUT, the two first names I haven’t figured out yet. Could be Mike and Britt??? Might be a couple on a weddingtrip/honey moon? Dated 7-2018. I would love to figure out who the senders are and their story.”

Message in a Bottle Disguised as Trash

A couple weeks ago, my dad and I were on a little adventure in a far-flung corner of the Caribbean, hoping we might find a message in a bottle or some other beach treasure among all the trash.

We were walking down the beach about 20 or 30 feet apart, when he called out to me.

“I’ve got something I want you to check out, Clint!” He shouted over the wind and crashing waves. “It’s probably trash but I want to get your eyes on it. It’s just some kind of wrapper.” Continue reading →

Message in a Bottle in Utah Lake

Folks, I live in Salt Lake City, and that’s very close to a lake called Utah Lake. It is a big lake, and I have always wondered whether anyone has ever sent a message in a bottle in Utah Lake? After all, messages in bottles can float around in landlocked lakes for ages before someone finds them! Like this message in a bottle from Belton Lake in Texas, which is probably 14 – 25 years old, and this 42 year old message in a bottle found in Lake Marion, South Carolina, and this one that floated in Grand Lake, OK for 23 years before being found.

Well, my question has been answered! A duck hunter named Travis has found a message in a bottle in Utah Lake that was written by two kids, Armani and Kayden. They did not give contact information or even date the letter, according to FOX 13 News In fact, we’re not even sure that they sent the message in a bottle IN Utah Lake. Instead, they may have sent it in one of the rivers that feeds Utah Lake.

The Best Messages in Bottles of 2018

1. The World’s Oldest Message in a Bottle (so far…)

Beyond any doubt, one of the best messages in bottles of 2018 is the oldest message in a bottle ever found (so far), clocking in at 132 years old. That…that is seriously old. Even by message in a bottle standards! Previously, the oldest message in a bottle ever found was 108 years old when found (preceded by bottles that were 107, 101, 98, 97 years old, and so on). This one shattered the records–for now. Every time one of these bottles has been found, people have said, “Surely there can’t be any older bottle than that!” but time after time, older bottles show up. But really, you have to wonder, will anyone ever break this record?

German Man Finds his Grandfather’s Message in a Bottle

Peter Brandt, a roofer in Goslar, Germany, was conducting maintenance on the town’s cathedral when he made an incredible discovery: An 88 year old message in a bottle. But this was not just any message from a distant stranger. This was Peter Brandt’s own grandfather’s message in a bottle. Willi Brandt signed the message on March 26th, 1930, and it remained hidden in the cathedral’s roof for 88 years, according to The Local Germany.

An Extreme Walker and a Dog Find a 21 Year Old Message in a Bottle…

That may sound like the setup for a punchline, but in fact, it is the heart of an amazing true story. A 21 year old message in a bottle was found in Scotland by a man walking the entire coastline of the UK to raise money for SSAFA, the UK’s Armed Forces charity–or rather, it was found by the dog he was walking with! Former paratrooper Chris Lewis told Belfast Live “I was on a Scottish leg of the charity walk with my pal Kenny and his dogs and Toby, one of the dogs, found the bottle at Portlogan. When we saw it had a message inside it was amazing.” Incredibly, Toby is one of many dogs who have found messages in bottles!
