No need to call Ripley's. That bottle was probably only number uno. I'am statistically certain you'll recieve more from various ports of call.

i forgot to add that my grandmother grandfather were also born in providence rhode island..
i even took it a little farther, after finding the massage in the bottle. only one i've ever found, i started doing my own, i did about 300 messages in bottles.. only got 4 responses back from the 300 or so messages in bottles.. one from hell shire beach jamaica.. one from fire island st thomas, one from puerto rico,, one from santo dimingo...
so if you ever find one of the bottles send me a note address is still the same.. i wonder if some of those 296 not found bottles are drifting in the atlantic garbage vortex
ohh,, by the way the beach that i built was destroyed by hurricane luis and hurricane marilyn in 1995, the two hurricanes were 10 days apart a depressing year thats for sure!!! 3000 plus hours of work gone with the wind and waves.. that beach if still existed would be all over u tube.. but that was before the time of all the tech we have at are finger tips nowdays..
