A 6-foot-long boat launched in 2020 by New Hampshire students and containing photos, fall leaves, acorns and state quarters has been found over 400 days later by a sixth grader in Norway.
Rye Jr. High School students launched a mini boat in 2020 that landed in Norway last week.
When the boat finally washes ashore somewhere in the world, a sticker asks for it to be brought to a local school where it can be opened and connect the two classrooms. Adams said the students were excited to complete the project and paint the boat when COVID-19 sent students home for the rest of the year.Since the students were learning virtually, Adams and Educational Passages director Cassie Stymiest put the finishing touches on the boat and asked students to send in artwork that was then printed and adhered to the boat's deck.
The Sea Education Association in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, volunteered to launch the boat alongside another one built by students from a school in Northampton, Massachusetts.But after 10 months at sea, the project hit a snag.
