30,000 rubber duckies traveling the oceans for 15 years — now approaching Britain
July 11, 2007
30,000 toy ducks, the floating kind from your childhood baths of yore, are approaching the coast of Great Britain after being washed overboard from a container ship more than 15 years ago on the other side of the world. The ducks apparently traveled the currents a total of 17,000 miles, from the Pacific up through the Arctic (while frozen in blocks of ice), down the coast of Greenland, and now toward England.
You just can’t make this stuff up.
