After 462 days, the toy ship launched in America was found in Norway

The barge, called Rye Riptides, which was launched in October 2020 with pictures, autumn leaves, walnuts and a quarter dollar, was also fitted with GPS.

The boat, decorated with student drawings, was found by a Norwegian sixth grader on the island of Smola near Dyrnes on February 1, The Guardian wrote online to the Portsmouth Herald on Monday.

The small ship lost its hull and capital weight in the voyage of more than 13,000 km, and was covered with small animals, but the deck and cargo space remained unchanged.

Karel Nonsik, who was found, took the boat to school, where it opened last week with her classmates. Their school plans to contact Rye School in the United States soon.

An NGO called Educational Corridors began working with schoolchildren on the project in 2018. The students entrusted the boat to the Atlantic waves in October 2020 and followed its course, but GPS stopped working after a while. In August and September he gave a signal again, scored points at Ireland’s peak, and then fell silent again. They finally learned that on January 30, they landed on a small island off the western coast of Norway.

“I was very surprised that the ship had reached somewhere.” I thought he would stumble somewhere along the way, but he ended up on the beach and it was so cool and amazing said Molly Flynn, a seventh grader.
