British schoolboy finds message in a bottle on Cornish beach

A British schoolboy has unearthed a message in a bottle on a beach in Cornwall- and discovered that it came all the way from Canada.

Stan Rumney found the glass bottle on Holywell Bay near Newquay just before Christmas.

Inside was a note from a fishing boat looking for snow crab off the coast of Newfoundland in Canada, according to The Sun.

The Captain, Craig Drover, threw the bottle overboard the FV Arctic Eagle on 4 June 2011.

And it made a brilliant Christmas present for little Stan.

Last year, a message in a bottle made it back to the sender's daughter 50 years after it was thrown into the sea.
