A message in a bottle.

Winkler grabbed the bottle and took it back to his house. He carefully teased the note out of the bottle. The paper was a little damp, flaking in places, but mostly intact. The first thing he saw took his breath away: "March 30, 1913."

Some parts of the note had deteriorated, but large portions of the pencil-written note remained decipherable.

What a great find. Holding a little bit of someone's personal history in your hands.

I'm thinking about doing the same thing on my next visit to the beach.

I love this story and that he and his children went to the trouble to do all the research about the sender. Thanks for posting!

I always hoped to find a message in a bottle when I was a kid.
