Could this possibly be the oldest message in a bottle found. It dated 108 years 4 months and 18 days when it was found in Amrum Island, Germany. The message was first thrown in the ocean by the the United Kingdom Marine Biological Association. The bottle was one of 1,000 thrown into the ocean by Biologist George Parker Bidder in a study designed to track the ocean currents. Luckily over 55% of his bottles returned in time to be included in his findings.
