Captain Brown's original log, now held by Marine Scotland Science in Aberdeen, is still updated each time a bottle is tracked down.Well, of course, what else could they do?

Sadly, anyone sending out a message in a bottle nowadays would probably be fined and imprisoned for 30 days.

A great story, but my favorite message in a bottle story is when Private Thomas Hughes’ letter in a bottle was found a few years ago. He was on his way to fight in France in 1914 and wrote a letter to his wife and daughter and tossed it into the Thames. He was killed in action two days later and his letter wasn’t found until 85 lears later. The amazing part is that Pvt Hughes’ daughter was still alive and the fisherman who found the letter delivered it to her - in New Zealand! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/346879.stm
