One of the more interesting stories that’s come about in the past several years about rubber ducks involves a shipping accident back in 1992 when tens of thousands of rubber ducks (along with other items) were lost to the seas. Since then, rubber ducks have turned up on the coasts of the United States to Great Britain and Australia.
What’s most interesting is that scientists have been tracking these ducks for years to see the time that certain ocean currents and patterns take to get from point A to point B. Below is a link from a 2007 CBSNews.com article about the ocean rubber ducks.
