Watch out for those Ducks!
Back to Fish Fun

29,000 plastic bath tub toys are now afloat on the Pacific Ocean. The yellow ducks (pictured left) are the most famous. The toys were headed from China to Tacoma, Washington, aboard a container ship when it was caught in a fierce storm in the mid-North Pacific Ocean. In the storm, 12 containers went overboard (one with toys) on January 10, 1992. After the container burst open, the toys were free to drift with the wind-driven ocean currents.
