Canadian Couple’s Message in Bottle Found After 13 Years in Ireland
A message in a bottle tossed into the Atlantic Ocean by a young couple, Anita and Brad, during a 2012 date on Bell Island, Newfoundland, was found 13 years later on Scraggane Bay in County Kerry, Ireland. The handwritten note inside the wine bottle recounted their romantic day and included a phone number, which was eventually called by a local couple, Kate and John Gay, who discovered the bottle during a beach cleanup. The story, which went viral on social media, revealed that Anita and Brad had since married and were still living in Newfoundland with their children. The discovery not only rekindled a heartwarming transatlantic connection but also inspired other Canadians to share similar message-in-a-bottle stories. The Maharees Heritage and Conservation group facilitated the bottle's opening and helped spread the story, highlighting the enduring human desire for connection and romance across time and distance. Similar instances of messages in bottles traveling across the Atlantic have occurred, including one found in Cornwall that was thrown into the sea just 40 days earlier, underscoring the ongoing fascination with this timeless form of communication.
