Summary
Amos Perry’s published letter said that a bottle found on Beaver Island had drifted about 100 miles north-northeast for approximately six weeks. He linked the launch to the M/V Togue, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service vessel carrying hatchery-raised Lake Trout, and described other bottle-message recoveries.
Evidence limits
This record documents the published letter and its claims; it is not an independent current reconstruction of the bottle’s drift path.
