Strange objects that were found on the seashore

Ah, the beach is such a glorious place! Although it is ideal for sunbathing, sand castles and long walks, it is also a great place for amazing discoveries. These items are usually cigarette butts, plastic litter and aluminum cans. Although, the beach can present unexpected surprises.

Human legs

Between 2007 and 2016, 16 human legs were found on the beaches of the Pacific Northwest of the United States, most of them were thrown ashore in British Columbia.

It's strange, but no one knows what happened to these lonely limbs, but when looking at the legs, no signs of "mechanical fragmentation" were found. Probably, the bodies of the corpses decomposed in the water in a natural way.

It is important to note that this does not exclude the scenario that in this case the serial killer was operating. Some of the legs were identified or related to their likely owners, but none of the cases raised suspicion among the police. Whatever happens, pick up the cockleshells in Vancouver with great care.

Hundreds of giant squid

In September 2011, hundreds of squid carcasses, somewhat heavy, weighing 20 pounds, were washed ashore in California. Naturally, some beach guests were a little dumbfounded. Others saw in the incident a great opportunity to make money. One expedition of 40 people collected 990 carcasses of giant squid.

So what exactly did squids find themselves on the beach and what is the reason for their death? According to the Orange County Register, the creatures most likely died after spawning.

Giant man "Lego"

In October 2008, the human figure of "Lego" was washed on the beach in Florida. It was a fiberglass object weighing 100 pounds and 8 feet in height. He was immediately taken into custody in Sarasota County.

Man "Lego" is a traveler of the world. He appeared in the Netherlands and England, on the beach of Toganga, where, unlike in Florida, he was not arrested. LA Weekly reported that Californians simply photographed a large bright figure.

A huge eyeball

The inhabitants of Florida had the opportunity to see something more than a strange thing. In 2012, it was noticed something rather unusual, washed on one of the beaches of the Sunshine State.

A resident of Pompano Beach, Gino Kovačchi was surprised to find a large-sized eyeball the size of a ball, walking along the shore. Realizing that the eye is still fresh and bleeding, Kovachchi intelligently put it in a plastic bag and found the time to connect experts to this case. The latter agreed that the eyeball most likely belongs to a swordfish and, probably, is carved by a fisherman's knife.

Motorcycle Harley-Davidson

It is unlikely that anyone stumbled on the beach for what Peter Mc has found. This happened on the islands of Hyde-Gwai in British Columbia.

One morning on April 18, 2012, Mark saw a giant white cube and a motorcycle tire protruding from it. As a result, an absolutely undamaged Harley Davidson motorcycle was discovered. Upon closer examination, Mark realized that the rusty license plate was Japanese, like the tags along the trailer wall. The founders correctly believed that an expensive motorcycle probably hit the remote island after the tsunami in Japan that hit the country in 2011.

"It goes without saying that such a find is extremely rare, since most of the large items washed from the Japanese coasts probably drowned on the ocean floor," the Japanese government official in Vancouver said. Mark acted with dignity. He contacted the relevant authorities to return an expensive find to the owner.

Millions of parts of the designer "Lego"

If there is one thing you should know about Cornwall, the southwestern tip of England, then this is because its beaches are a magnet for parts of "Lego".

In 1997, the container with the designers fell from a cargo ship on the coast of Cornwall. It was loaded with millions of plastic Lego parts, and since then they are constantly nailed to the Cornish beaches.

Collecting mostly marine thematic figures "Lego" has become more than just a hobby of many people. Children and adults compete, which of them will find the best figures.

Love Letters of the Second World War

According to WNBC, the letters were found by a 14-year-old boy in 2012 in New York, after the hurricane Sandy passed through the area. The letters were dated from 1942 to 1948 and, apparently, were of sufficient interest to an outsider.

To make this story even sweeter, the teenager's family quickly found the recipient. It was the 91-year-old woman Dorothy Fallon Farnham, who lived in New Jersey. The letters were sent directly to her.

Alien

One strolling along the coast saw a body floating in the water, and did what any respectable citizen would do. He called the service 999 (911 for the British). Instead of a human body, the respondents caught the figure of an alien. The figure belonged to telephone company ET

Botanas from Nike

Want to win a pair of Nike sports shoes? Maybe you just need to go to the beach. According to National Geographic, in 1990 about 80,000 pairs of Nike shoes decided to "jump off" a cargo ship into the mighty Pacific Ocean. Many of them were on beaches around the world and rewarded those present on the coast with raw, but in fact never worn sneakers.

On Washington and Oregon beaches in 2001, it was possible to catch the 1999 Nike Cross Tireers, after another cargo ship hit the storm. As a result of the elements in the water were two large containers with sports shoes.

It seems that some Nike shoes are waiting for the harsh tests after they leave the conveyor.

Rubber ducklings

In 1992, NPR reported that the bath ducklings were sailing in the open sea with a whole detachment, after the container for transportation in which they were in the water fell into the water. Naturally, funny toys made of rubber eventually found their way to the shore, although not all floated in the same place.

Some toys have spent more than ten years surfing on the waves of the ocean. Eventually they sailed to the opposite shore. Part of the ducklings was in Europe, and some in Hawaii and Alaska. The journey of toys helped oceanographers to understand which routes ocean garbage is floating on.

Fly agitators

Alaskan sports fans and haters flies enjoyed themselves when in 2012, swimmers swam to the coast.

According to reports, one cargo ship lost a container of combat shells against flies, after it was hit by a powerful wave.

Such a find as a fly swatter, most likely, has become a true gift for any resident of Alaska, as there are annoying flies abound.

Montauk Monster

One of the main stories of 2008 is the discovery of a sea monster whose body was thrown onto the beach of Long Island, in East Hampton.

In July 2008, the woman found a real monster. The creature in question was a strange conglomerate of various parts of the animals, and it was quickly called the Monauk monster.

According to experts, the mysterious being was not at all a monster. It was a common dead raccoon with a decaying muzzle. Life is full of disappointments.
