Program Description

Event Details

Bottled messages have been discovered on shore nearly as long as glass containers have been invented. They bring tidings from ocean voyagers, invitations for pen-pals, tragic attempts for rescue and floating farewells from long lost souls. Based on Ric Mixter’s book, Bottled Goodbyes chronicles the most famous messages ever recovered, including three bottles found after the Titanic disaster and five messages that floated ashore from the Great Storm of 1913.
