When brothers Ollie and Harry Ferguson pushed their toy pirate boat into the North Sea, onlookers may have expected it to sink without trace in the choppy grey waters.But instead the plastic Playmobil vessel named Adventure has travelled hundreds of miles from Scotland to Scandinavia, taking in Denmark, Sweden and Norway.To their delight of the two boys, those who have found the boat have sent them a message letting them know its latest destination before setting it on its way again.
As much as its great for people to put the message in a bottle and cross a item off their bucket list, sending plastic out to sea is a bad idea for the environment....I'm a fan in sailing a plastic ship, but only if I am bringing it home with me when I am done.
