Rubber Ducks - lost at sea
With the recent publication of "Moby Duck", the travels of a heap of rubber ducks and other toys lost at sea in 1992 have been in the news lately. I remember finding a rubber duck in Thailand, but alas it wasn't one of the famous ones, which are quite distinctive and have probably all faded to white by now. I am disappointed to see that most of the images used to illustrate this tale are of the classic rubber ducky and not the ones lost at sea in this incident. This includes the cover of the book in question.

Tom, Alas, that's not the right duck, either. There are some on my web site (www.donovanhohn.com). And to make identification even easier I just posted the relevant pics on a tumblr page: http://moby-duck.tumblr.com.
