A Surprising Find on a Nova Scotia Beach

11-year-old Dallas Goreham of Woods Harbour, Nova Scotia was at the beach with his father and grandmother, looking for sea glass, when he found something quite different–a plastic bottle containing letter nearly twice as old as himself. As with any good message-in-a-bottle story, there was a bit of mystery in the bottle, too. The 18 year old message in a bottle was signed by Rita who included a non-functional email address. But who was Rita? And where was she?

Message in a Bottle Found in the Street in Nahant, Massachusetts

The Boston Herald reports that a bittersweet, five year old message in a bottle found in the street in Nahant has been reunited with 13-year-old Sabine Harnisch who sent it in Gloucester Bay back in 2013 as she commemorated and said goodbye to her grandmother.

Sabine “received an unexpected call from Jana Simonds, of Nahant, who spotted the bottle in the street while walking to meet her neighbor, Larry Carlson, for lunch, just before yesterday’s historic midday high tide lashed the coastline. Inside, she found Sabine’s message, along with her phone number,” according to the Boston Herald.
