'It's like a 21st-century message in a bottle.'
RYE, N.H. -- A 6-foot-long boat built by fifth-graders took to the Atlantic Ocean on Oct. 25, 2020, charging off into the Gulf Stream for its maiden voyage. That voyage would take 5.5-foot-long Rye Riptides over 8,000 miles from home -- all the way to the coast of Norway after 462 days at sea.
Students build the GPS-tracked boat, fill it with items, decorate it and send it on its way."It's like a 21st century message in a bottle," Stymiest said. In the months after the October launch, classes watched Riptides make its way up and across the Atlantic Ocean through data from the GPS tracker. Its last pinged location was on Sept. 30, 2021, and Stymiest said they thought they had lost the boat when they didn't see another notification for months.
That afternoon, when her son, Karel, got home from school, the Nuncic's got in their boat and searched the coast to find what was left of the miniboat.
