If you find a whitish/yellow bath toy washed up on your local beach, don't just walk past it. It just may have been on a remarkable journey, which started in the Pacific Ocean 15 years ago. Twenty-nine thousands bath toys were lost overboard a containership in 1992 during a Pacific storm. They were caught up in the world's ocean currents, and floated through the Bering Strait, around the top of Arctic Canada into the Atlantic Ocean. They are now due on the coasts of the UK, also incidentally on the East Coast of the US.
