World's oldest message in a bottle: BBC News Review

The story
What's thought to be the world's oldest message in a bottle has been found in Western Australia. The discovery was made by a woman walking on a beach north of Perth. But far from sending out an SOS, the note inside was part of a German scientific study carried out in 1886.
