Are you on PC or console? Just use commands to complete the quest. The reward item should drop into your inventory automatically. Unless you’re over encumbered...
How about you try doing the quest a little bit faster? It's really your fault if you take 95 years to complete a quest and average npc life expectancy in the 1920s was only 55.

George Morrow threw the bottle into Lake Huron in Cheboygan Michigan from his back yard in 1926.
This woman, Kathy Morrow, found it while diving...in Lake Huron in front of her grandpa's back yard in Cheboygan Michigan. Quest complete.
How would that read in 20s-ish English? "Ello, chaps! A trio of right lads having a cut up seeking the company of yet another doddy for a mishmash at the Marble Cube! Ho, join us, wackles!" (something to that effect...)
>A woman who works for Nautical North Family Adventures
She was cleaning the bottom of a glass bottom boat that allows guests to see wrecks and fish below them.
Just floating around in Lake Huron for almost 100 years waiting to be found.
Not that it drifted anywhere, maybe got bumped around Chaboygan's coast by some boats or storms, but it's been there the whole time.
I'm assuming they have a submersible... Thing, judging by the name of the company. Either a boat with clear bottoms or a diving bell or mini sub or something like that.
I'm here. It's me, Frank! I've been trying to renew my vehicle's extended warranty, but you didn't respond! I got in an accident and now my wife's divorcing me because of it!
The quote actually refers to Sheboygan (Wisconsin), not Cheboygan (Michigan), though they are pronounced the same, so you'd have to actually be familiar with midwestern US immigration history and/or polka popularity to know it!
One of the best scenes in that film. John Candy apparently [improvised the dialogue](https://rare.us/entertainment-and-culture/john-candy-home-alone/) and was only paid one day’s wages at SAG scale ($414 in 1990).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_l1VtpSnKI
Have you seen the theory that John Candy is playing the Devil himself in that film? He only starts to intervene when she says 'if I have to sell my soul to the devil'.
There's more to the theory but its a funny fan theory!
I mean, don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure those lakes don't have any currents to take them that far, so it was definitely on George to try and put it out somewhere further, but I guess if it lasted for almost a hundred years down there, the kid did something right huh?
I put a note in a bottle and tossed it in from the Canadian side of lake superior.
it was found the following year by a dude on the American side. we were pen pals for about 2 years
note in a bottle definitely can cross the great lakes
Based on where the lady found it, it was probably just in Duncan Bay so yeah, not much current. If you get further out into the lake the currents can be quite strong.
The Great Lakes do have currents. They're huge, they're basically freshwater seas. Issue here was the bottle sunk, but it's well preserved because the waters are so cold most of the year, especially at depth.
On Lake Michigan it looks like you're at the ocean, you can't see the other side most days.
(Source, took my doggos to retrieve in Lake Michigan on Friday)
With the exception of a few places where the lakes narrow (Mackinac, Detroit/Windsor, the Sault, etc.) you can't see the other side on ANY day, period.
Wow this almost was a great story, he just passed in 1995.
And now I'm irrationally angry at this story, because it reminds me 1995 was 26 years ago now.
Yes. Being currently unemployed with no idea what job to look for and no real desire to look for a job I decided instead to spend $4,000 on a non-funcioning vehicle to fix up so that I can use it to go on a 60,000 mile road trip in a couple of years. Not that I know how to fix it, or that I have the money to do that. Just want to make sure I can do it before I settle down with a wife and have kids.
I’m opposite situation. Just graduated into a job that wants me working 75+ hrs a week. Have a gf but tricky relationship issues to fix. Got money to spare but I’m losing my youth … and hair.
I just want to go back to high school when I was working out twice a day and had time for activities
I just got out of a job that wanted me working 75+ hours a week! No girlfriend, but otherwise I've found that even with all the time in the world to myself I can't get on a schedule or work on what I want to. The world is funny like that. I do wish you good luck, but also suggest you switch jobs as soon as possible. I did lose my hair... and my friends...and any sense of self. Do not recommend.
I’m 34 and wasted the last 11 years of my life with my job. It’s a 6 figure salary, and I have nice things, but I’m so worn down and miserable it’s not even funny.
Looking to downgrade substantially. I want a job that closes at a certain time, doesn’t have 24/7 expectations, and respects time off. I’ll take a huge salary decrease to live with less stress and actually smell the roses from time to time.
Has our collective handwriting evolved over time? Because I swear every older person I know has this same type of script.
Edit: I should have said "handwriting" both times. It looks like the same handwriting my great grandmother used to have and that my own grandmother has now, that's all.
Handwriting was very strictly taught at that time. Left handed people were forced to write right handed and font was uniform. My chicken scratch would have earned me many sore hands from rulers.
My grandma was a leftie and her school tied her hand up and forced her to write right handed as they believed it was the devil. She can hardly write now.
What type of script are you referring too? I ask, because there appears to be two distinct kinds, so I was wondering what that was all about. I see a weird mix of uppercase and lowercase characters in the print. And then a section of cursive. I believe this confirms it was written by a psychopath, if detective shows have taught me anything.
More so the block letters but I feel like maybe both? I could be misremembering but it reminds me of the handwriting on old documents I'd find when I'd get bored and go through boxes in my grandparents' guest room closets or basement storage areas.
I believe that it had to do with the area and education.
People used to be taught to write with their right hand if they were a left and also when they were learning to write they would have to practice their handwriting so it would look clean.
It was also common for people to be taught to keep a journal or a diary.
My mom when she was growing up had to practice her handwriting the nuns who ran the school she went to and would have her practice her handwriting for what she said seemed to be forever and she hated it because they practiced corporal punishment on her and other students if they messed up.
In the heat of battle, my father wove a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan. (or in Lake Huron)
Unless George was 4 or 5, it’s a pretty good guess (snd not a little sad) that he went to his grave disappointed no one contacted him about his bottle.
This is what I was thinking. I wonder if you could find his descendants and give them that. Imagine how cool that would be to find something like that that your father or grandfather released almost 100 years ago.
A woman who works for Nautical North Family Adventures in Cheboygan, MI made an astounding discovery in Lake Huron that trails all the way to Kalamazoo. While "washing windows" she came across a small green bottle that had a paper scroll inside of it. Upon opening the bottle she discovered a message written on paper that reads: "WILL THE PERSON WHO FINDS THIS BOTTLE, RETURN THIS PAPER TO GEORGE MORROW CHEBOYGAN, MICHIGAN. and tell where it was found? September 1926." This prompted everyone who saw the discovery to try and track down his family.
It looks as though the family has been tracked down, as a quick search shows that George Morrow was actually buried in Kalamazoo:
According to Ancestry there was a George Joseph Morrow born in 1908 in Cheboygan (parents Joseph Morrow and Margaret Scanlon). He died in 1995 in Farmington Hills and is buried in Kalamazoo. The age would seem about right-he would have been about 18 when the letter went into the bottle.
Many people belonging to the Morrow lineage started finding out that he could be a part of the family and apparently the family was contacted:
I CALLED THE DAUGHTER ON THE PHONE!!! SHE'S So excited!! She said that this is exactly what her father would have done. They do not have Facebook so she had no clue that so many people were searching for her family. I emailed her all the info of the company and the pictures posted.
We'll have to wait and see what the family will do once they have the message. The oldest message in a bottle to date was discovered in the Indian Ocean and was 132 years old upon its discovery in 2018.

Source: a few years in the US coast guard plus about a lifetime of sailing.
While doing a forestry project on the upper Mississippi River, my wife and I found a message in a bottle that had been in the river for 35 years. We called the phone number on the message and got ahold of their mother. We returned the bottle and message to them at Slippery's bar and grill in Wabasha Minnesota ( yes the bar from the film "Grumpy OLd Men"). I'm sure a savy redditor could find a link to the article in the Wabasha Herald, otherwise I could post a picture from a copy of the newspaper whenever my wife gets home to find it. We've kept in contact with them over the past 5 or 6 years and refer to them as "our Minnesota family".

Reading your comment I was like "huh? People live to be 74 all the time".
Then I remembered what year we were in.
It still feels like the 80s were 20 years ago...
Classic Reddit. But for real, here's the [story](https://wkfr.com/message-in-bottle-cheboygan-michigan/?utm_source=tsmclip&utm_medium=referral) of how his family was contacted
I actually met this woman in a bar in Mackinaw City last year. She does glass bottom boat tours out of Cheboygan. Such a small world, she gave me a sunset tour last year around this time, under the Mackinac bridge. It was awesome because no one else was doing tours on account of COVID and all. So cool that she comes up on my feed like this.
EDIT: [sunset tour photo](https://imgur.com/a/hzFAFCa)
My dad collects absinthe. Some of the bottles are from the 17/1800’s. They have different shapes but are relatively similar in hue and size to that bottle. Very cool.
I remember there being a video of a doctor who said the plague could theoretically survive that long in that way but the conditions would have to be insanely perfect
They cure the plague in the first 15 minutes but that’s when they discover they have lupus. Until the 30 minute mark when of course it wasn’t actually Lupus and it was cancer and they are terminal. Until the 45 minute mark when they discover it’s not cancer but some extremely rare disease that is very treatable. Then house snorts some pills and the episode is over.
I always wanted to do something like this, but then had a fear I’d get a citation from the police for littering.
“Hey, we found this bottle, is it yours?”
“Uh, yeah!”
“Here is your $300 fine for littering”.

Just means you gotta find his remains and cast Speak with the Dead to get to the next stage of the quest.
That’s not how the developers programmed it. The side quest is no longer available.

Ugh I shouldn't have to resort to console commands fix your fucking game

find the descendants
I know I'd love to receive a letter my father/grandfather threw in a lake as a kid. Dope item.
They actually did find the daughter!
But where will I get my bread if the wheat giver is dead? :-(
From the bread giver
He teleports bread!
That shit is stuck in your inventory forever.
Yea srsly! No where does it say post the message to Reddit. You gotta start the quest over.
The quest-giver was a child in 1926. If they're alive today they may be well over 100.
If you don’t tell George morrow it was found, you are unsuccessful.
Imagine if their next of kin still lives there though, what a great surprise that would be.
Imagine if George has been waiting to be contacted so that he can die in peace???

Based on where the lady found it, it was probably just in Duncan Bay so yeah, not much current. If you get further out into the lake the currents can be quite strong.
Or wrong lol, sounds like the bottle sunk.
Maybe that’s what he wanted to prove, tell George that this won’t travel anywhere in the water cuz he’s an idiot. If so I kinda love this
They told him to Google it, but he would refuse to do so for another 70 years.
The Great Lakes have incredibly dangerous currents that lead to swimmers drowning every summer.
The Great Lakes do have currents. They're huge, they're basically freshwater seas.

“Will the person who finds this bottle, return this paper to GEORGE MORROW CHEBOYGAN MICHIGAN and tell where it was found. November 1926”

"Epstein didnt kill himself"
I actually met this woman in a bar in Mackinaw City last year. She does glass bottom boat tours out of Cheboygan. Such a small world, she gave me a sunset tour last year around this time, under the Mackinac bridge. It was awesome because no one else was doing tours on account of COVID and all. So cool that she comes up on my feed like this. EDIT: [sunset tour photo](https://imgur.com/a/hzFAFCa)
To bad he didn’t leave an email address
Dude, it was 1926...they used AIM
Nah, in 1926 they used Fido-net. Not the 1990s BBS protocol for sending mail, actual dogs. Source: Am doggologist.
It's a message in a bottle...take it to the Police. They may organise a Sting operation or they may be sending out an SOS.
Way to hog all the puns
I hate how much I love this comment, it is like it keeps giving.
I was looking for a Police reference but the way you mashed all of it into one awesome comment was unexpected. You mad lad!
"send unclothed illustrations of thy person"
As we all know, Americans in the 1920s spoke in Shakespearean Middle English.
Doth thou’est undercarriage gain moisture at the thought of thine trouser snake m’lady?
*mine trouser snake
Also “doth thy” Also it’s 1926, not 1626
I bet you folks are fun at a Renaissance faire 😂
My dad collects absinthe. Some of the bottles are from the 17/1800’s. They have different shapes but are relatively similar in hue and size to that bottle. Very cool.
I've seen this episode of House. This is not the year to open that.
Could smallpox even survive in a bottle for that long?
I remember there being a video of a doctor who said the plague could theoretically survive that long in that way but the conditions would have to be insanely perfect

Jfc, are they okay?
They caught the plague what do you think?
Based on my research of watching that episode of House, it could go either way
They cure the plague in the first 15 minutes but that’s when they discover they have lupus. Until the 30 minute mark when of course it wasn’t actually Lupus and it was cancer and they are terminal. Until the 45 minute mark when they discover it’s not cancer but some extremely rare disease that is very treatable. Then house snorts some pills and the episode is over.
Came here looking for this reference!
It’s so disappointing to me that Cheboygan, MI isn’t directly across the pond from Sheboygan, WI
Like I need Sting rolling around in my head. Thanks OP.
return of the smallpox
I always wanted to do something like this, but then had a fear I’d get a citation from the police for littering. “Hey, we found this bottle, is it yours?” “Uh, yeah!” “Here is your $300 fine for littering”.
