In 1992, a shipping container filled with thousands of plastic rubber duckies and other bath toys fell overboard from the container ship Ever Laurel in the Pacific Ocean. The incident led to the toys drifting across the seas, with many washing up on shores around the world. This event provided researchers with valuable insights into ocean currents and plastic pollution, as the toys traveled thousands of miles, some reaching as far as the Arctic and the Coastlines of various countries.
