A very old media used to communicate at sea was the message in a bottle. The use of this communication goes back to the 300s B.C. Messages of this sort have been used for a variety of reasons. Christopher Columbus said he had thrown a messaged bottle out to sea recounting his discovery of the New World, requesting it get delivered to the Queen of Spain. It was also used in war times to give information about military positions. The message in a bottle was well-known to be the message of men lost at sea, sent to their loved ones as a final farewell, or to send message of location like an S.O.S. People are still finding these old treasures today.
An article in the Daily News wrote, "The oldest message in a bottle spent 97 years and 309 days at sea," Guiness announced. "The bottle was discovered 9.38 nautical miles from the position it was originally deployed."
