Hi everyone!
Many people have been asking about the age of the Coke bottle sent from the Beachcomber motel in New Hampshire. The simple fact is–none of us know its exact age. We do know that it must be at least 30 years old, and cannot be more than 50 years old. I am researching the date code stamped on the bottom of the bottle, and trying to get a date for the bottle itself, at least. Sadly, even when we learn the age of the bottle, we will probably never be able to determine the exact date when the message was sent, since it was not written on the message itself. But…doesn’t that just make the mystery all the more intriguing? 😉
Thanks for your questions and thoughts!

I’ve made a video to clarify the likely route of messages in bottles in the Atlantic Ocean. Check it out:
Sorry it’s so dark! But compare my map with the one depicted in this CBS Early Show segment.
I know it seems crazy to think that these messages in bottles travel in a big circle around the Atlantic, but it really is the most likely explanation. You can google around and find better maps of the currents–but they all say basically the same thing: stuff in the Atlantic circles clockwise.
