Almost nine years ago ten-year-old Max Vredenburgh put a note in a bottle and threw it into the ocean from a beach in Rockport. Never did he expect a reply. However, the reply did come, nine years later. Vredenburgh’s bottle travelled all the way from Massachusetts to France and was found by a person named G Dubois who wrote back sharing the exact location where the bottle was found. Reportedly, the letter was found on a beach in France nearly 6,000 miles away.

When Vredenburgh posted the letter on Twitter, it went viral in no time. The post was shared on several social media platforms. Many netizens expressed shock over the bottle being found and returned almost nine years later.
