RiverJennifer Dowker, the owner of Nautical North Family Adventures, discovered a message in a bottle while scuba diving in the Cheboygan River in Michigan. The note, written in 1926, was addressed to George Morrow of Cheboygan, Michigan and requested that whoever found the bottle return the paper and reveal where it was discovered. George Morrow’s daughter Michele Primeau estimated that her father would have been around 17 or 18 when he wrote the note and threw the bottle into the river.
