History
On January 28, 1679, Ery was formed. The National Commission of New Countries (NCNC) was dedicated to bring home food from USA by ship. There was no way to document the shipwrecks, so each time a shipwreck happened, they sent a message in a bottle. The first message in a bottles were received in February 1723, with No. 138 being the first one. The message in a bottle had a date and a heading, for example in No. 138 it was “July 23, 1679, Shipwreck’d of M.S. Commissioner”. The messages were piled into a big safe with one password: 1679 (revealed in 1998, after the final message (No. 6,174) arrived in 1992). They opened it each time a message was received.
