A British Columbia man has discovered what could be the oldest message in a bottle ever found.

Steve Thurber, of Courtenay B.C., found the century-old bottle washed up on a beach along Vancouver Island’s west coast, near Tofino.

"I was just walking along and here's this bottle lying in the sand. I thought it looked pretty neat and I picked it up and it had a message in it," Thurber told CTV News.
