(ORDO NEWS) — A Quebec woman has found a letter in a bottle 34 years after a Newfoundland fisherman threw it overboard. The message was written by Gilberto Hamlin on a cigarette pack. This is reported by Salt Wire.
Canadian resident Trudy Shattler was walking along the beach near her cottage in Paguachiu (Quebec) and came across a real treasure – a bottle with a message inside was lying next to a rock fragment.
From time to time, Trudy walks along the beach and looks for things thrown up by the sea. She is attracted to shells and smooth stones, on which she likes to draw. She found the bottle with the message for the first time. Inside the vessel was a note written 34 years ago.
Although the bottle was corked, a little water got inside, but it was still possible to read the note. The note was written on the back of a pack of cigarettes.
“It was dated May 29, 1989. The note said she had been placed in the water off Fox Point, 10 miles from Port-au-Shua, Newfoundland,” Shattler said on Facebook.
She said that she managed to find the author of the note, but he died two years ago. This was reported by Rick Hamlin from Port au Choix, the son of the man who wrote the note.
His father, Gilbert Hamlin, often went boating and fishing. In 1989, he took his son fishing. At the same time, the man thought of writing a note, putting it in a bottle and throwing it into the sea.
And inspired by this case, a resident of Canada also decided to write notes and put them in bottles and throw them into the sea, so that someone would also find the message.
