They find a bottle with a message from 1926 in the sea and find the daughter of the person who wrote it

The captain of the boat and expert diver Jennifer Dowker was exploring the bottom of Michigan waterways, particularly the Cheboygan River, when he found a message in a bottle that had been written in 1926. The bottle was at the bottom of the river because, although it still had the cork from 95 years ago, it was partially full of water. The discovery occurred in 2021 and has now gone viral again.

Dowker He earns his living by taking tourist tours along the rivers of Michigan, USA. He knows those river routes perfectly, but also the secrets hidden beneath those waters. However, despite his experience of it, he had never encountered anything like what had happened to him a few days earlier.

Jennifer is the owner of Nautical North Family Adventures and spent the day on Friday, June 18, 2021, cleaning the glass floor of her boat, the Yankee Sunshine, while diving while docked on the Cheboygan River. Suddenly He found a bottle with something inside and, when he opened it, he discovered that it was a message written in 1926.

The captain and businesswoman explained to CNN that the bottle was about 3 meters deep: “At first I thought it was just a cold bottle and then when I picked it up, when it was still under water, I could read the word ‘this’ “. on paper It was kind of like… Oh my God! We found a message in a bottle. Brilliant!”

The bottle was two-thirds full of water, but he managed to remove the handwritten note inside to read the message. It was dated November 1926, 95 years ago.and on it was written this text: “Will the person who finds this bottle return this document to George Morrow Cheboygan, of Michigan, and say where it was found?”

Jennifer Dowker is familiar with the city of Cheboygan and knew that the surname Morrows was common there, so she uploaded a message to her company’s Facebook account with the idea that a customer would read it and take it to the message’s author’s family: ” I thought we’d track him down pretty quickly and that would be the end of it. So I forgot about it because it was the middle of the night… and I went to bed.” The next morning madness broke out: her message had gone viral and There were more than 6,000 people who provided clues about the possible authors of the message.

The captain was afraid he didn’t have time to investigate so many messages, but he didn’t need to: George Morrow’s daughter, Michele Primeau, contacted her directly. She doesn’t use Facebook, but an acquaintance of hers sent her a photo of her and she immediately recognized her father’s handwriting, even though that note had been written 20 years before her birth.

Michele and Jennifer talked for a long time, getting to know a little more about the person who threw a bottle aimlessly in 1925. The daughter remembers that, in that period, his father was about 18 years old: “I see him going out and doing that thing because it was his birthday. I don’t know for sure, but it seems like something he would have done. He was a very sentimental person.”

Michele Primeau’s father died in 1995, but this anecdote made him remember beautiful moments in his life. Jennifer wanted to return the bottle with the message, but Michele insisted that she keep it: “I thought the right thing to do would be to give it to her. She found it and that would keep my father’s name alive.” Now you will frame it and place it in a clearly visible place in your company store: in exchange, He gave Michele a ticket for the rest of her life to ride on the Yankee Sunshine.
