Thousands of duckies head for New England. 29,000 rubber ducks, tossed overboard between China and Seattle more than a decade ago, will wash up on New England shores shortly.
After a mammoth journey, they are expected to start washing up on the New England coast. And while they will be bleached and battered from their journey, they are providing invaluable information on the ocean's currents. They were flung into the Pacific on the International Date Line, level with Oregon, USA.
