一则关于“漂流瓶“的微信,网红了航海界。

微信中说,一对未婚的英国情侶约翰和瑪丽,在海边散步时拣到一只漂流瓶。

漂流瓶中有封保存完好的信,使这对情侣感概万分。信中写道:

亲爱的朱莉亚,

此刻,我不知道该说些什么,因为死亡逐渐向我走来。我们的船在百慕大附近遇到了狂风暴雨,眼看就要翻沉了。我再也看不到你那双美丽动人的眼晴和金黄色的卷发。明天是传统的“圣得雷萨节”,也无法享受你亲手烹调的“烩蘑菇”。我不想死,我曾打算远航归来向你求婚。可是等不到这一天了。不过,我想,我在天堂一定会吃到你亲手做的“烩蘑菇“…,这不是幻想,一定会的…。

永远爱你的皮特。

约翰和玛丽未有犹豫,来到了专门搜集和研究“漂流瓶”的机构一英国海洋生物学会。

英国海洋生物学会成立于1906年,当时为硏究潮流方向,特意将一只封存好的“漂流瓶”投入大海中,直到2015年4月17日才在德国的阿姆鲁姆被人发现,在大海里整整漂流了108年,是至今世界上年代最久远被人拾到的“漂流瓶”。在此之前,最古老的“漂流瓶”在海上漂流了99年。

因此,英国海洋生物学会名声大燥。一百多年来,共收到各类“漂流并”1千多只,其中包括科研资料和海员的遗书,遗物。

一百多年前,海上通讯不发达。在海上遇难的海员,往往在危急时刻,将自已的遗言和信息封存在“漂流瓶“里抛进大海,随波逐流,成为海员传递信息的唯一手叚。也是寻踪失事船舶和人员的希望。

根据约翰和玛丽拾到这只“漂流瓶”里的信息分折判断;皮特所在失事的这艘货船叫《天王星》号,83年前,在百慕大三角失踪…。

“百慕大三角”海域位于太平洋东南海岸,面对大西洋:即弗罗里达海岸,西印度洋群岛南端与百慕大群岛之间,围成的一个三角地区。

根据航海史记载,十九世纪以来,在此海域失踪的船的近百艘,死亡人数达一千多人,还有许多飞机在此神秘消失。人们称这个海域为”魔鬼大三角”。

“魔鬼大三角”出现的神秘灾难事故,至今,世界科学家仍未有定论。

有人認为,这个海域风暴出现罕见的次声波,次声波的震动随风暴的加大而振幅激增,船舶经过必遭劫难。有的专家说,是墨西哥湾暖流形成的不测风云造成的。也有人指出,这里海底火山周期性爆发,使地壳下沉产生飓风和磁暴形成”航吸”造成的。当代更多科学家分折,这个海域有股从海面到海底向下的“海流”,形成“渦旋“运动,将船吸入海底…。

“魔鬼大三角“给航海者留下了难以磨灭的记忆;”海员的坟墓“。

人们根据信中的“圣德雷萨节”,判定皮特是西班牙人。因为“圣德雷萨节”是西班牙传统的“烹调日”。这天,人们都要准备大量美食佳肴,更是情侶大显身手的日子。

知晓这只“漂流瓶”的来龙去脉后,约翰和玛的激动不已,並做出一个让人们意想不到的决定;俩人辞掉了工作,不远千里来到西班牙的馬德里,约翰在一家歺馆做了厨师,玛丽则是一座咖啡馆里接待员。

他们将要完成一个心願。

西班牙是个多节日的国家,几乎月月都有各种各样的节日,总以家乡的佳肴美食为主要内容,俗称“美食大国“。

约翰所在的歺厅几乎整天顾客盈门,高朋满座。

风光旖旎的西班牙,东面和东南面濒临地中海,得天独厚的海边风光,使西班牙盛产海鲜。以海鲜烹调的美食比比皆是,特别是“烩蘑菇“,是西班牙“烹调日”情人必做的一道菜:各类海鲜与鲜软的蘑菇,加上清汤炖煮,鲜香逼人,象征情侣香甜合美!

经过一年多的工作和学习,约翰基本掌握了西班牙的美食烹调技能,特别是“烩蘑菇”。

约翰和玛丽踏上了远去“百慕大群岛”的征途

当今的“百慕大群岛“今非昔比,昔日”魔鬼大三角”上的魔鬼群岛,已成为世界著名的旅游圣地。

事情出自一桩海难事故。

1709年,英国海军上将乔治,佐德斯率领的《海上冒险号》,在百慕大遭遇飓风袭击,搁浅在“百慕大群岛”附近的珊瑚礁上。所幸,幸存者修复了难船,带着粮食和物品驶向附近的弗吉尼亚。这是块英国殖民地,正遭受罕见饥荒的困扰。《海上冒险号》带来的粮食和物品,救助了当地的居民。从此,开辟了“百慕大群岛”的新生活。

经过几百年的开拓发展,已成为风貌独特,阳光燦烂的旅游天堂!

“世界旅游报”曾这样写道:色彩柔和的民房错落有致的布满全岛。田野,花园,矮墙和熔岩间有条狹窄的小道通向岛顶,岛顶矗立着一块石碑。石碑上刻印着当年在“百慕大“殉难海员的名字…。

约翰和穿着婚纱的瑪丽,缓慢来到石碑前面,双手将他们精心烹调的“烩蘑菇“小心翼翼地放在石碑前:

“安息吧!皮特先生。”

此刻,约翰和玛丽紧紧相拥在一起,他们一年多前许下的心願终于实现了!

约翰和玛丽的故事深深感动了,所有来往百慕大附近的航船和海员!

A social media post about a drifting bottle became instantly internet

famous within the entire online nautical world overnight.

The post, which was originally shared on the Chinese messaging app

WeChat, described a British couple named John and Mary, who picked up a

glass bottle while they were taking a stroll on the beach.

John and Mary were surprised to find that the glass bottle contained an

emotional letter that was kept well intact despite the miles it could have

travelled. The letter read:

At this moment, I am at a loss of words as death is inching towards me

slowly yet inevitably. Our ship encountered a violent storm near Bermuda,

and we are only seconds away from being engulfed by the ocean. I will never

once again see the brightness of your eyes nor the locks of your golden

blonde hair. Tomorrow will be St Teresa’s Day, and I will be unable to

enjoy the delicious braised mushrooms that you always cooked and prepared

from scratch. I don’t want to die. I had planned to ask for your hand in

marriage as soon as I returned from my voyage, but it seems that I will

never see the light of that day. However, I believe that I will once again

taste your special braised mushrooms in heaven… That isn’t a fantasy, it

is my only reality.

I love you forever,

Pedro

Without hesitation, John and Mary departed for the British Marine

Biological Association, an organization that specializes in collecting and

studying drifting bottles and their messages.

The Marine Biological Association was founded in 1906. At the time,

they released a drifting bottle into the ocean to research the direction of

the tides, which remained adrift on the seas for 108 years until it was

found on the shores of Amrum, Germany on April 17th, 2015. Before that, the

oldest drifting bottle had floated on the ocean for over 99 years.

As a result of its studies in drifting bottles, the British Marine

Biological Association had gained quite a reputation. Over the past 100

years, the association received more than 1,000 drifting bottles of various

shapes and sizes, many of which included important scientific materials,

artifacts, and letters from seafarers who perished at sea.

A century ago, communication at sea was not yet well-developed. Sailors

who encountered storms and shipwrecks often sealed their last words and

messages to loved ones in these glass bottles and tossed them out to the

ocean. In their final moments, these glass bottles were the sailors’ only

hope for reaching their loved ones. Years later, they also turned out to be

valuable clues when searching for sunken ships and missing seamen.

According to an investigation of the drifting bottle that John and Mary

found, Pedro was a crewman on the cargo ship SS Uranus, which disappeared

in the Bermuda Triangle 83 years ago.

The Bermuda Triangle is situated in the western part of the North

Atlantic Ocean, and touches upon the Floridian coast in America, San Juan,

Puerto Rico, and Bermuda, the three tips forming a triangle. Throughout the

19th century, nearly a hundred ships have disappeared in these waters along

with the death of their crew members and the loss of countless artifacts.

Thus, the Bermuda Triangle eventually came to be known as the “Devil’s

Triangle”.

Though various scientists have many theories, the definitive reason for

the catastrophes of the Bermuda Triangle remains unsolved. Some researchers

believe that storms in the Bermuda Triangle cause a very rare infrasonic

wave. These waves create an intense vibration that affects the amplitude of

thunderstorms and tides, bringing on extremely strenuous conditions that

are impossible for ships to escape. Other experts theorize that these

storms are generated by the formation of warm currents off the Gulf of

Mexico. More speculate that the eruption of underwater volcanoes in this

region makes the ocean floor sink and produce hurricanes and magnetic

storms. Contemporary scientists now speculate that the Bermuda Triangle may

have currents that flow downwards towards the ocean floor, which creates a

whirlpool that draws ships in and pulls them underwater.

Whatever the source of these disasters may be, the Bermuda Triangle has

left a striking impression in the memory of voyagers. Some even call it the

“grave of seafarers”.

Based on the mention of St Teresa’s Day in Pedro’s letter,

investigators deduced that Pedro was probably from Spain. In traditional

Spanish culture, St Teresa’s Day is celebrated by a Celebration Mass and a

great feast prepared by families and friends, and especially by couples who

loved to cook together.

After learning the tragic story of the bottled message and the

mushrooms, John and Mary were moved to the point that they decided to quit

their jobs and uproot their lives in Britain to relocate to Madrid, Spain.

John began working in a restaurant as a chef, and Mary as a waitress.

They wanted to fulfill a dead sailor’s final wish.

Spain is a country with many different festivals and celebrations, and

many such holidays shine a spotlight on certain delicacies in the intricate

Spanish cuisine. The Spanish are very proud of their food, and John’s

restaurant was full of customers day in and day out.

Spain’s landscape is adorned with gentle seaside breezes and the warm,

tender coastal sun. Bordered by the Meditarranean Sea, Spain is gifted not

only with charming scenery but also a wide selection of seafood. On top of

sea delicacies, Spanish braised mushrooms are a signature dish on St

Teresa’s Day. For Spaniards, coupling various kinds of seafood specialties

with soft, fragrant mushrooms served alongside a light, palatable soup,

symbolized the sweetness and unrelenting affection between lovers.

After working and studying in Spain for over a year, John had mastered

the basics of Spanish cuisine, specifically the seemingly simple yet unique

braised mushrooms.

Then, John and Mary set out on a voyage to the Bermuda Triangle.

Today, the Bermuda Triangle isn’t exactly the horrifying “Devil’s

Triangle” that it was once known as. Tourists stroll leisurely along the

beaches that graze the edges of the Triangle, and yachts sail comfortably

adrift its waters. This relaxation, however, was brought about by a

maritime accident.

In 1609, the Sea Venture, led by English Admiral George Somers, was

stranded on a coral reef near the Bermuda Islands after encountering a

hurricane. Fortunately, the survivors were able to repair the ship and

gather enough food and supplies to sail towards their destination,

Virginia. At the time, Virginia was a British colony and was suffering from

a devastating famine. The food that the Sea Venture brought helped to save

the local population. Ever since then, people flocked to the Bermuda

Islands in search of new horizons.

After centuries of exploration and development, the Bermuda Islands

have become an eccentric and unparalleled tropical paradise.

The World Tourism Organization once wrote about the pastel roofed

houses scattered all over the islands, and the narrow passageways between

fields, gardens, fences, and volcanoes that led towards the highest point

of the islands, where a stone tablet stands tall and watches over the land

and waters. Etched into the tablet are the names of all the seafarers who

once lost their lives in the seas surrounding Bermuda…

John and Mary, dressed in a suit and a wedding gown, slowly walked

towards the tablet and placed their carefully prepared braised mushrooms in

front of the tablet.

“Rest in Peace, Pedro,” they whispered.

John and Mary held each other tightly, and finally fulfilled the wish

they made all these years ago.

From then on, the fateful story of John and Mary and their connection

to a lost Spanish sailor named Pedro became a legend that touched the

hearts of all ships and mariners who navigated the waters in the Bermuda

Triangle.
