Angela Erdmann never knew her grandfather. He died in 1946, six years before she was born. But, on Tuesday April 28th, 2014, she described the extraordinary moment when she received a message in a bottle, 101 years after he threw it into the Baltic Sea. The bottle is possibly the world’s oldest message in a bottle. It was presented to Erdmann by the museum that is now exhibiting it in Germany.
Where is the bottle now?
