The „oldest“ message in a bottle in the world washes ashore after 150 years at sea with a shocking message. It’s always exciting to find something interesting on the beach, but most people don’t expect to discover an artifact that is over a century old.
A person on social media thinks they have found the oldest message ever discovered in a bottle.
User @asmythco shared her discovery with her followers on TikTok and expressed her amazement at her good fortune. She said, „I found a message in a bottle on the beach on July 3rd. The note inside said yacht Neptune off Atlantic City, New Jersey, 6-76 August.“
On the outside of the bottle, it read „Barr and Brother Philadelphia.“ Although the bottle dates back to August 1976, it can’t be the oldest, can it? You’re right, which is why the TikTok user looked a little further.
By examining the bottle, he was able to determine its age and period of use. He then pointed out the date and commented, „Look at it,“ indicating that the bottle was likely made before 1900. This suggests that the communication was probably sent in 1876, not 1976.
He concluded the video by saying, „This makes it the oldest message in a bottle ever found.“
