In 2012, a Scottish fisherman named Andrew Leaper pulled up something strange from the cold waters near the Shetland Islands. It wasn’t a fish, a net, or a piece of seaweed — it was a small, barnacle-covered bottle with a note sealed tightly inside.
At first, Andrew thought it was just trash. But when he looked closer, he realized he was holding a piece of history — one that had been floating in the ocean for more than 85 years.
What he didn’t know then was that this discovery would break a world record and tell a story stretching all the way back to 1926.
