Message in bottle drifts 1,735 miles since 1986

A plastic bottle was found by a beachcomber along the Bearing Sea in western Alaska.

There was a note inside from an elementary school student in a suburb of Seattle.

The note was placed in the bottle and set afloat in 1986 and had traveled 1,735 miles before it was found

The bottle was part of a fourth-grade school project. The notes were typed and the students only added their names and signed them. A friend carried the bottles on his boat and dropped them in the ocean in 1986.
