Toy pirate ship sails the seas

When two young brothers – Ollie Ferguson, aged eight, and five-year-old

Harry – launched their toy pirate ship across the North Sea, it sailed further than they could ever have imagined. The pair released their Playmobil ship, named Adventure, from Peterhead in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, at the end of May. It has since sailed hundreds of miles to Denmark and Sweden. It was then spotted by a Norwegian ship, whose crew picked up the little boat and took it with them to Cape Verde islands, off the coast of Africa, where it can continue its journey out on the high seas.
