    In April 2014the world's oldest known message in a bottle was discovered floating in the Baltic Sea. It had spent 101 years lost in the oceanThe message was finally sent to the author's granddaughter.

    A German fisherman named Konrad Fischer found the brown bottle near KielGermany. He said he nearly threw the bottle back into the water after pulling it out of a fishing net. Then he noticed something inside.

The bottle in good condition contained a Danish postcard with two German stampsdated  May 171913. Although dampness had made most of the writing illegible(字迹模糊的),the readable part of the message asked whoever found it to return it to an address in Berlin. It even contained two stamps to pay for postage.

    From the addressresearchers found that the postcard was written by a man named Richard Platzwho was 20 years old when he wrote the message. While he was hiking on the Baltic coast with a nature appreciation grouphe threw the bottle into the sea. Then the researchers began a search for any living relatives of his. Sure enoughthey were able to find his 62-year-old granddaughterAngela Erdmannwho still lives in Berlin.

    The bottle remained on display at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg until May1 After thatthe researchers examined the postcard and tried to figure out the meaning of the rest of the message.
