Scuba Diver Finds Message In A Bottle From 1926. Here's What Happened Next

The scuba diver spotted the bottle on June 18, and soon after got a special phone call

Imagine finding a message someone wrote for you nearly a century ago. Fascinating, right? And this isn't a movie we are talking about. What's even more fascinating is the place where this message was found— deep into a river, inside a green-coloured glass bottle. Jennifer Dowker, a scuba diver who owns a boat tour company, found the green bottle with the message written in 1926. “Will the person who finds this bottle return this paper to George Morrow Cheboygan, Michigan and tell where it was found?” read the note on a piece of paper inside the bottle. Ms Dowker, who owns tour company Nautical North Family Adventures, returned to the deck and took a few pictures of the treasure she had found in the deep waters of the Michigan river. Posting the pictures on the official Facebook handle of Nautical North Family Adventures, she wrote, “So, look what I found when I was washing windows (and cruising along with the fish)... any Morrows out there know a George Morrow that would've written this circa 1926? COOLEST night diving EVER.” A night after she posted the message and pictures, it went viral on social media. At the time of writing, over 113k people had already shared the post.
