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

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.

‘A Mermaid’s Tale’ is an animation by my brother Luke and his girlfriend Sophie Merry. It is both his first animation- as well as their first collaboration together- and it has turned out rather beautiful if I may say so myself!
