Tampa Bay Woman Finds WWII Era Message In A Bottle During Debby Cleanup

A Tampa Bay woman made a cool discovery while cleaning up after Hurricane Debby. Suzanne Flament-Smith found a very old message in a bottle while cleaning up debris from a street. She removed the letter from inside the bottle and saw that it was dated March 4th, 1945. Other things inside the bottle included “sand, a few shells, a bullet casing, and a mini cannon ball.” It had been written on U.S. Navy letterhead from the Amphibious Training Base in Little Creek, Virginia.
