Mystery Boat Washed Up On Ireland’s Coast With A Strange Message

A Boat House?

The construction of the boat was such that it assured the coast guard that it had been made keeping in mind that someone was to live in it but the fact that no one was found and the lack of personal belonging did not support this theory. When the boat was brought on the shore the curious people gathered around to see what it was all about.

 A Mystery Name

One of these people noticed what had earlier skipped the coast guard’s attention. One of the walls on the boat was written a strange message and this message hinted at who could have built the atypical boat. The message referred to a name which was later to prove essential in solving the mystery surrounding this vessel.

Perception

One of the coast guards said, “the shape, itself, is very unusual, because of the size of it. I initially thought it might be a caravan.” The new development, the discovery of the message only thickened the mystery. This was the name that was mentioned in the message but it did not make sense.

The Other Side

The message led to the discovery that the boat was built by a man named Rick Small but he was not a local. He actually belonged to another continent altogether. He hailed from Thunder Bay, Ontario and was famous in Canada for his eccentric creations and way of living. But if Small constructed this boat, where was he and why did he do it?

Solar Panels

When the coast guard dug into the history of Rick Small in order to solve the mystery, this is what they found- Small was an environmentalist and an advocate of alternate energy resources, like solar energy. He has been known to built vehicles like bicycles that rely on solar energy for power.

Not Helping

This piece of information did not seem to help the current case of the boat and how if it was built in Canada, it came about ashore in Ireland and how come there was no one on board. But the message did not just give a name, there was more for the coast guard to decipher.
