A message in a bottle, sent from Ireland, has been found washed up on a beach in the US.
It was discovered by a family clearing rubbish from the shoreline in Wildwood, New Jersey.
The note inside which said 'greetings from Ireland' was dated July 17th 2019 and was signed 'Aoife'.
Frank Bolger who found the message in the bottle along with his wife and granddaughter, shared the discovery with the Facebook page of a local newspaper in the hope of finding its author.
The family is hoping to get in touch with Aoife.
The hand-written message inside read:
"I have thrown this bottle into the sea for someone to find another day.
"Maybe it's traveled down to Africa or to Iceland!
"I won't know if someone found this, but I hope it is found!"
