MONTREAL A team from the University of Quebec in Rimouski (UQAR) would not be out of line in blasting Message in a Bottle by the Police these days as it looks into a letter that could have been thrown from the deck of the Titanic hoping that it would reach her father in America. A multidisciplinary team from the university located five hours east of Quebec is analyzing a letter from a bottle thrown into the sea the day before the Titanic sank, April 13, 1912.
A release from the university says that a New Brunswick family found the bottle on a Hopewell Rocks beach in the Bay of Fundy in 2017. They then gave it to the UQAR to examine it.
A mysterious letter in a bottle was allegedly written by a 13-year-old girl who was on board the Titanic during its tragic voyage in 1912. The letter was found in a sealed bottle buried on a beach in Hopewell Rocks along the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, Canada.
The letter was dated April 13, 1912 – the day before the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank – and was written in French by a 13-year-old girl named Mathilde Lefebvre. Translated to English, it read, “I am throwing this bottle into the sea in the middle of the Atlantic. We are due to arrive in New York in a few days. If anyone finds it, tell the Lefebvre family in Liévin.”
