#MessageInABottle - Another connection's been made across the ocean between Ireland and North America thanks to a message in a bottle, as Canada's CTV News reports.
Last summer Canadian student Saskia Vaisey dropped a bottle into the freezing waters of the Arctic Ocean, with a note sealed inside describing the wildlife and sights she saw while on an Arctic study programme.
That very bottle was discovered earlier this month on a beach near Claddaghduff in Co Galway by German national Eva Hart, who emailed Vaisey shortly after to express her excitement at the find.
It was an important one for Vaisey from a marine science standpoint, too, as she send her message-in-a-bottle along with 50 of her fellow students as a part of a 'Drift Bottle Project' to track ocean currents.
And it's not the first time that Canada and Ireland have been linked by such a long-distance message, as two years ago a young boy in Co Waterford discovered a note sent into the sea by two French-Canadian girls some eight years before.
