introduction and history

Today im going to talk to you about a certain journey a group of ducks took around the world. 15 years ago 29,000 rubber ducks fell from a cargo ship to set sail for their journey around the world. These ducks took separate paths around the worlds seas. Some have travelled as far as 17,000 miles around the globe. Some have even floated over where the titanic sunk. You may be aware of this ship that sunk in 1912 after it hit and iceburg. Those rubber ducks then floated ashore Hawaii. Scientists follows the paths taken by the ducks to study the worlds currents, how long it takes for water to circulate around the world. The ducks set sail from hong kong to America but only some made it to America others went as far as Scotland! They are said to travel arounf 1 mile a day and have been on the waters for 15 years. People thought they would sink but their airtight plastic has kept them afloat for more than a decade.
