The paper was found dry and intact inside the bottle even after 11 years.

On Wednesday, a school teacher in Brockport, a small village in America’s New York state, was pleasantly surprised when he found out that a message written by one of his former students during a class activity was found in a different country.

Christopher Albrecht shared on Twitter that one of his students had kept a message in a glass bottle and thrown it in the Atlantic Ocean as part of a class activity in 2011.
