A wooden toy boat tossed into the ocean as part of an elementary school project 27 years ago has washed up on the shores of Wisconsin early October. The teacher who launched its journey has come forward, marveling at the little boat’s longevity.

The weathered red, white, and blue toy was spotted by Lynn BeBeau and her husband, Mike, on a remote Apostle Island beach on the shores of Lake Superior in Wisconsin.
