The practice of throwing overheard
from ships letters inclosed in sealed
bottles is centuries old. Hollow copper
spheres and oal1en barrels have also
been used as sea letter carriers in at
tempts to trace the direction of ocean
currents or to send word from persons
at sea to friends on land. Barnacles
readily attach themselves to these
drifting letter holders and sink them.
Only very few of the many messages
that have been thrown into the sea
have ever been recovered.
