In 1992, 29,000 Bathtub Toys Fell Off a Container Ship and Taught Us All About Ocean Currents

It started as an accident that happens hundreds of times a year; a shipping container fell overboard during rough weather, spilling its contents into the Pacific ocean. But this container was filled with 28,800 beavers, frogs, turtles and rubber duckies that have since then, made their way around the world. And tracking their journey has led oceanographers to discover new information about how interconnected the world's water ways really are.
