I really enjoyed while reading your post.. I heard only one story about found bottle which was written by a soldier in the 1 World War. I didn't know that the bottles are thrown into the oceans for scientific reasons. But as I saw it was not successful because most of the bottles sank.. It means there are thousands of bottles on the ground of world oceans ;) Anyway the other stories you mentioned with bottles are very fantastic.. Especially the one with Swedish sailor and Sicilian girls' love story..
