Inside was the last will and testament of a Spaniard who had been shipwrecked. He wrote his will on the fragment of a shirt in his own blood. He had carefully divided his asssets and estates amongst his family members. As I recall, the letter and will were turned over to the Spanish consulate, but they were unable to execute the terms of the will. It turned out that the message was more than four hundred years old!Lawrence Burdickhttp://www.burdicksblogs.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359919.post-51231123227167391532012-04-20T15:56:04.905-07:002012-04-20T15:56:04.905-07:00I agree Katy.

Evan and I found a bottle years ago whilst kayaking--they are as much fun to find (maybe even more fun to find) as they are to send out into the world.Diane, Evan, Maia and Charlie the cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607359149594812176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359919.post-83918852424094353732012-04-19T07:35:01.301-07:002012-04-19T07:35:01.301-07:00There is a certain mystique to a message in a bott...There is a certain mystique to a message in a bottle, even when we can send messages around the world in a few seconds--I too am captivated by imagining the journey of a message in a bottle bobbing its way across the ocean.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05746224211577600109noreply@blogger.com
