Found: World’s Oldest Message in a Bottle, Part of 1914 Citizen-Science Experiment

A Scottish fisherman has found the world’s oldest message in a bottle, the Guinness Book of World Records confirmed last week. It is 98 years old, and was cast into the ocean by Captain C.H. Hunter, a scientist at the Glasgow School of Navigation, who was studying the currents in the North Sea.

The bottle was one of 1,890 bottles released on June 10, 1914, and the 315th to be entered into Captain Brown’s log, which is still kept and updated by Marine Scotland Science in Aberdeen.

One of the joys of buying used records is finding things that the previous owner left inside the sleeve. This card, typed in Braille, was inside a copy of Bitches Brew by Miles Davis that I picked up yesterday at a flea market. Huge thanks to koda-cub for translating it:

“It’s a list of songs. Vivaldi’s Virtuosi di Roma, Concerto Grosso in A Minor (Op. 3 No. 8), Bela’s Violin Concerto #2, and Vivaldi’s Il Sospetto in C Minor. The writer of the paper consistently spells ‘minor’ with an e.”
