A message in a bottle has been discovered 13 years after it was cast into the Atlantic in Canada.
Maharees Heritage and Conservation confirmed the message in a bottle was found in Scraggane Bay, Co Kerry.
According to the team, the message in a bottle made its way from Bell Island to Maharees.
Writing on Facebook, the team said the message inside was from a couple named Anita and Brad. The pair sent the message after enjoying a date on Bell Island in 2012.
It is understood that the bottle travelled 3,000 kilometres before it reached the Irish coast.
The message reads:
"Anita and Brad’s day trip to Bell Island. Today, we enjoyed dinner, this bottle of wine and each other, at the edge of the island. If found please call us."
The Maharees Heritage and Conservation wrote:
"This message in a bottle from Anita and Brad was found by Kate and Jon today on Scraggane Bay! Such a long way to travel and such a long time to get here, but we got it!
"Now if only Anita and Brad would just answer the phone they told us to call them on!!!"
"What a coincidence that one of our CreativeIrl Neart na Machairí project community partners finds it, our team opens it together, and we connect with another coastal area facing climate impacts!!! Another amazing story in our coastal resilience journey!!"
Let's hope the team in Maharees hear back from Anita and Brad one day.
