World War II Era Letter In Bottle Discovered By Woman During Tropical Storm Debby
Shortly after Debby made landfall along Florida's west coast as a Category 1 hurricane earlier this month, it produced something no forecaster — or anyone else — could have predicted.
She said she found it while collecting debris in the city of Safety Harbor. It was a bottle sealed by a cork. Inside was a handwritten letter from a location in Virginia over 800 miles away near Virginia Beach.
Above is a closer view of the letterhead, which reads, "United States Navy Amphibious Training Base, Little Creek, Virginia," and is dated March 3, 1945.
Flament Smith shared photos on Facebook urging any family members of the letter writer to contact her.
