Wexford boys find message in bottle that travelled across Atlantic

Two Wexford boys made a surprising discovery on their local beach when they found a message in a bottle that had spent the last year-and-a-half travelling 4,800km across the Atlantic Ocean.

Cousins Cian and Tiarnan O’Grady, both 15, came across the bottle while beachcombing on Cullenstown Strand, near Wellington Bridge, in the wake of Storm Frank.

The message inside was written by Ken and Suzanne Baker, from Scituate, a coastal town in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, which is often referred to as the most Irish town in America.
