This is a great story not just because a rubber ducky filled Chinese container went overboard but that they're still washing up on shore around the world so many years later. I never heard about it so thank you for sharing it. My memories of floating plastic ducks is limited to the set I had for my nieces to play with in the bath tub.

28 rubber duckies in the bath yesterday reminded me of the 28,000 of 1992.
No kidding?! They are still floating around our oceans all these years? haha
ReplyDeleteRubber duckies will never die. Every generation of kids wants one (or many!).
Chag sameach, Yael!

I never heard about 'the long voyage of the rubber duckies'. Long live the rubber duckies!!! Love that story Yael:)

ReplyDeleteDuring our annual village carnival we have yellow duck racing on the river. The child whose duck is first gets a prize.

DeleteI remember the story of the ducks and the container going into the sea. I had forgotten all about it.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I wonder where they all are now.
DeleteThey are still heading a shore in many places as you can see in the map.

ReplyDeleteSort of like the legend of the Wandering Jew . . .
