Strangers Track Down Writer Who Launched Message in a Bottle Nearly a Century Ago

A scuba Diver from Wisconsin spends her summers scuba diving and conducting shipwreck tours found a curious curio on the riverbed.
The bottle’s unusual antique shape and green glass were what first caught her eye, but on closer inspection, she realized the find was something more. Though damaged and slightly water-logged, she and her crew learned the note inside the bottle had survived an amazing nine-plus decades in the water.
Dated November 1926, it read:

Will the person who finds this bottle return this paper to George Morrow Cheboygan, Michigan and tell where it was found?

After posting a picture of the long-missing message to Facebook, word spread like wildfire. More than 100,000 shares and 6,000 comments later, one curious reader managed to locate Morrow’s daughter, Michele Primeau (who “doesn’t do Facebook”) to tell her the story and give her the message in the bottle .
